Which one?

[Azriel]

I looked at each cards specs but I would like to hear a personal opinion on which one the community likes more. Do you like the ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Overclocked Dual-Fan 6GB or the EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SSC? Which one do you also think is better? These are the four parts that I am buying if that has any bearing https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mR7rbj

the 1600x needs a cooler btw and the 1600 is basically the same thing but comes with a cooler

I have the EVGA and it's been great so far, plus unless I'm misremembering it has a higher base clock than the Asus, so I would recommend that if only because I can personally vouch for it.

Thanks very much for that info, but I already have a cooler for the CPU and I want the 1600x.

Thanks much! I have a 960 from EVGA and it has been great as well!

Don't get low frequency RAM when you are spending just as much as you do with high frequency RAM

I think whether the Asus or EVGA card is better depends on what you want from the aesthetics. One is white while the other is grey.
