If it's the same price as a 480 - yes. If it's more expensive than a 480 by 40$ or more - no.

Hmm, while this is indeed a high end cooler, becuase this a 1060 you can save up by getting something simpler for less.

 

Here are some options you can take a look at as well in Austrilia:

Buy overseas if your rig costs more than A$1000, that's what I do it saves money if you do it right.

chill, im not biased, i just couldnt think of a good username. Since chinesechocolateboy and LilDthePaceGod were already taken.

but the 1060 6gb versions are very very good bang for the buck if you want to do AAA title gaming. They perform better than the 980ti and titan x in some games
