I am not sure of which GTX 1060 to get for my gaming computer. I want to be able to manually overclock it while still keeping it cool, I also don't want it to be ridiculously expensive.

The 6gb model, yeah? And what is your budget?

You should get the 6gb model.

 

If you mean what cooler to get being quite frank it does not matter on low end GPU chips like the 1060, all will perform within same margin of error once overclocked, if you want a silent card I think MSi has the Gaming X available for the 1060's it is silent enough.

Get the EVGA SSC 6Gb. I just got one at Best Buy outy the door for $299. So that's tax included and it runs VERY cool at a nice 55-56c on max gaming at 1080p. It's also VERY quiet and on the same fan curve as my 970...it's insanely quiet.
