im looking to upgrade my very old HD5770 to a gtx1060 for 1080p gaming
on a 2 monitor setup.
browsing on amazon got me a bit lost on which model is good enough.
im not looking to OC the card or anything, so i was thinking the cheapest 1060 i could find would do, is it really the case or am i overlooking some important things?

i was thinking about getting this one when it gets in stock:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-NVIDIA-GeForce-1060-DUAL-GTX1060-6G/dp/B01IUA9Z52/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1471691386&sr=8-11&keywords=gtx1060

with shipping and tax to israel it comes at 250€ and seems like the best deal i could find online.
thanks in advance.

Not sure I would say another month or two hopefully less. I have been looking into getting a 1060 too and they are still out of stock or overpriced at most places in the US as well.

Just a small thought. I suggest it would be better to buy from a brand that has international warranty since you're buying from the UK and you live in Israel, just in case anything goes wrong.
