What GtX 1060 should I get?

Trentius_

My budget is $400 CAD without taxes or shipping.

Here are some of the cards I have been looking at any experiences with these cards, drivers, Included stuff (adapters etc) or other options would be appreciated.

The Cheapest one or best looking one since its silicon lottery on overclocking.

 

EVGA have best customer support

Gigabyte Xtreme cards have 4 year warranty instead of normal 3 year if you sign up within 30 days of purchase.

I would go with either the Gigabyte G1 Gaming or the MSI Gaming X whichever fits your color scheme better.

Asus is overpriced. 
With your budget either MSI or Gigabyte should be decent.
If you want to spare some case, EVGA.

they all end up the same. nvidia cards arent binned, so you just pay for slightly higher stock clocks that you can achieve with a simple oc. id say go with the zotac one since its the cheapest, and they tend to have pretty decent coolers (especially the amp extremes). just avoid the asus card since it i cant see any heatpipes in there

I have not decided on what my colour scheme is as I am still running on my first budget motherboard and cpu.

 

But I know I will use black. I heard that the gigabyte cards had driver issues with the Rgb leds resetting after power offs, is that true or are people just installing things incorrectly.

 

Rgb Leds is something that I would like on it because I have not decided on a secondary colour for my next build where this card will eventually reside.
