This is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6g8Kpb.

My local store has two types of GTX 1060 in stock at a slight price difference.
Gygabite GTX 1060 Gaming G1 at 370$
OR
Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC at 340$

From what I know, Gigabyte tests all their GPUs and picks the best ones of all.
Do you think it's worth paying the extra 30$ for the Gaming G1?
 
Solution
Get the G1 if you can cough up the extra bit of cash.
Are you in the UK or US?
Pricing standards and part picker region seem a bit all over the place.

None, I am from Romania. I was planning to order some parts from Amazon UK, hence the prices from pcpartpicker are in £.
I converted the GPU prices from my local currency to $ for the convenience of this site's users.

Thanks for the reply! :)
What do you think about the Gainward version (330$ at my local store) of the GTX 1060 ? I've read that it's the worst version of all.
