So I've been looking for gpus for the last few weeks bcs I'm planning to build a budget system and I found the rx560 4gb Vram but there are so many versions of it and idk which one should I get. So... What do u guys think? What's the difference between the Sapphire rx560 and the Strix rx560?

So long as they both have 1024SPs, I'd buy whichever one is cheaper. The coolers and dimensions are different, naturally, but you won't see a real difference in performance so long as they both have the same amount of SPs.

I had a RX460 Nitro 4gb and was a great card and Sapphire is a AMD partner, now im with a Aorus RX580 8gb and to be honest loving it, so go with 2 fans if possible and best price, Asus makes great cards so it's really a matter of clocks if they both have the same amount of SP's, Rop's and TMU's.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world..

No real need to go double fan with a 560.

I had the RX460 Nitro that had a tiny pcb but had some rgb leds to make it bigger and there before 2 fans and it was much quieter at 74ºc then others with one fan only, two fans is always better even if on a RX560 but that's just my opinion.
