Help W/ PC Decision

[TyFilms]

I'm about to build my first PC and I have two build lists. I really can't decide which one I like more. They're nearly identical. I like the ITX case more if that helps. When I build it, it'll be used for lots and lots of online gaming and light video editing. I do need good WIFI as well, I can't tell which WIFI is better. I need to hear the pros and cons of each one.

Get the second build, but the Wifi card from the first one, instead of the USB one

I decided on the 1060 because of shadowplay. And I do need a wireless wifi card.

yeah don't get the 3gb 1060. Either save up for the 6gb or get the rx480 4gb

The case one has 2 expansion slots, I can only have 1 GPU. I also will only ever need, 1 gpu.

There is nothing wrong with the 3GB

fk shadowplay homie ... You'd be better of getting 1050Ti instead of 1060 3Gb ( not performance wise) but performance/price Yes.

If you're limited on budget you'd be better of 1050Ti if you're not that much save up for 1060 

Because 1060 3gb is really .... ugh... not good.

then save up and get the 6gb version. The 3gb version blows.

Word of warning though.

As its a very small build, get a blower style card, such as this. These styles are better, as the hot air is exhausted out the back, rather than re-circulated into the case, increasing temperatures.

I'm confused... Isn't the one from MSI supposed to have better cooling? I thought 2 fans would be better than one..

I'll get that card if it really is better, Thanks for the help

2 fans are better.

The thing with that style card, is the air is put back into the case, rather than being exhausted out of the case.

This means that things like the CPU, RAM, Mobo VRM's will be running hotter.

 

Blower cards draw air in, then exhaust air outside the case directly, meaning the rest of the PC is cooler.

 

In small cases, such as yours, a blower style card is better, as it means other components will not be effected as much
