Help between these 3

[grillechese]

Hello all,

 

I am upgrading soon and have had my budget has decreased to $280 than before.

 

I have 4 options:

Gigabyte 1060 OC

Asus Dual OC

Zotac Amp!

EVGA ACX 3.0

 

I have heard GREAT things about gigabyte, but Asus would fit the black and white theme I am trying to go for. I love EVGA seen they have been good to me, but I've also heard good things about the Zotac as well.

 

I just wanted to get some personal opinions and feedback of what the best option may be in my situation.

 

Current System specs:

 

CPU: Intel Xeon e3-1231-v3

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

RAM: 8GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport

MOBO: Asus H81M-D PLUS Mirco ATX

GPU: EVGA 950 GTX GeForce SC 2GB

PSU: EVGA 430W

 

 

Thanks for the feedback and help!

Go with Asus, it has easily the best cooler, PCB and overall build quality, will OC quite well too if needed.

Get a 480 8g. XFX, MSI, or Sapphire.

agreed. 

 

MSI also has some good deals through amazon with a rebate right now. 

 

The armor edition is black and white.

Xfx gtr 8gb rx480 or msi gaming X rx 480, may I know what is your monitor?

 

Forget the 1060's unless you already have an overpriced g-sync monitor.

I would suggest getting a better PSU with a cheaper card like an RX 470.

Just a basic 60hz monitor. No g-sync or anything fancy

The 480 is cheaper on average and has roughly the same performance. Get which ever is cheaper. 

 

And the suggestion to get a better power supply and a 470 was a good one too.
