im not the type of guy to buy used parts.


im sure it would be a nice savings and just as good but i wanna buy realiable parts and stuff thats gonna be under warranty if im spending over 200



built my pc like 4 years ago and its still running games today but im noticing a bit of performance issues lately so time to upgrade some parts

Best price/performance for a 1060

Slightly better cooler and aesthetics imo

But pcb/cooler for clock speed is not a factor this generation. They all OC pretty much similar where the chip is the limiting factor. So it's pretty much just a lottery.

There is easy software to make boost to about 2.1GHz.
Free performance cheaper.
