No. If it costs 100 dollars extra don't get it. If it costs something like 30 dollars extra then get it.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Shop around, stock is short everywhere that has them for a fair price. 

 

 I'm building a new PC and have been debating Rx 480 vs GTX 1060 myself. I decided on the RX 480 for a few reasons. 1. Price to performance. Most benchmark test have both cared within a few fps so the 480 at around $100 less wins that in my book.

2. SLI/Crossfire I know not every one will agree with this but I think it was a mistake not having SLI in the 1060. I'm not saying two 480s in crossfire is the best thing ever, or that I even plan to buy a second 480. But I like having the option to do so.
