Whats the difference between a EVGA 1060 6GB vs a MSI 160 6GB..

 

I got all the technical stuff of my build down, now I just need to get some asthetics

 

I wish I could get a white case but my house is too dusty so black it is.

 

Any good budget cases? current one I'm planning to use is a Corsair spec 02 but it looks ehhh

Difference? Cooler and clock speed

 

Black will show dust more so white would be fine..

 

Get an S340 if you dont like the look of the spec 02

For the best looks, I would go for the Asus Strix RX 480 8GB. It has a RGB backplate (unlike the 1060 Strix counterpart) and monochrome, so it can go in any case. Case wise, if you're able to spend anymore money, go for the Corsair 460X, if not, get the OG one: NZXT 340

There are small difference that also affect performance because of GPU boost and noiselvls. The MSI gaming variants are best MSI coolers used currently and are very quiet. Also goes for the EVGA if it has  the ACX 3.0 cooler, but it has slightly more performance what makes it the better option imo currently. But don't compare single fan vs multi fan. Multi fan is always better. So without knowing what specific type you talk about...

 

The mentioned Asus strix is also a good performer, but it's louder then the other mentioned. It's no jet however orso.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
