gigabyte because of the better aftermarket cooler however if you plan on fitting the gpu into a smaller case go for the asus card.

The gigabyte card would have better cooling, and I think lower noise levels (not sure). Are these the only two cards you are considering?

Only get a blower cooler for smaller or stuffy cases without much airflow. Why are you getting a 1060 anyway?

Just get the cheapest 1060 since the difference are the temperature, noise and the aesthetic

I think the gigabyte would do better, i mean look at it , it looks good, has a good cooler and it must perform well. On the other hand look at the asus, it looks like a piece of turd plus it's more expensive. If you want an ausu go for the strix. In your situation, i recommend the gigabyte
