I have settled on getting a gtx 1060 ftw. I say ftw purely for the fact i prefer the 2nd fan. NOW here comes the questions.... -Is 3 gb sufficient or should i be safe and get the 6 -Is the difference between the ACX 2.0 and 3.0 massive or does it not really matter ? -What brand do you recommend (EVGA,MSI,Gigabyte etc) or better yet (brand to not get) And if you have any personal recommendations or advice please spew it here... except hxtr im tired of your bs Damage_inc- 1 Awards

New Egg is good about it. I am a fan of gigabyte and have been since the 90's when they made just motherboards.But sure that does not make much difference. As for 1060 why not get the 1070?Why would you get a 1060 over a 970 or 980? Not saying get the 1080 but minimum I would get is the 1070 or a 980. Ask to see if anyone has an old card cuz the looks of it the 1060 it is an old card. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/feature/pc-components/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-vs-gtx-1070-vs-gtx-1060-3640925/ CplAh 1
