I saw on PCPartPicker that the EVGA 1060 is faster than the GIGABYTE 1060 because of the ghz thing, EVGA has 1.61 ghz. But if I go on Newegg, I see that the GIGABYTE 1060 has a higher core and boost clock by a tiny bit compared to the EVGA.

So which card is faster? The EVGA 1060 or the GIGABYTE 1060?

I already know the ASUS 1060 Strix is the fastest one, so I am trying to find out the 2nd fastest 1060.

go with the cheapest one/one you like the look of, the difference between them is insignificant
 
Don't forget these are all overclockable as well. In theory a better cooler can prevent temperature throttling under heavy load though I don't know if it's very significant for the GTX1060.

*Make sure to get a 6GB version, not a 3GB version.

Personally with things being so close, I'd look at customer feedback (i.e. 4.5/5 stars at Newegg for ideally over 50 reviews). You can't compare Amazon to Newegg.

MSI is also good, but prices seem to be too high where I'm checking (supply issues).

I'd also go with a 2-fan solution unless you have a space issue. That should be quieter under heavy load.

so you are saying the best GIGABYTE one is better than the best EVGA one?

On Newegg GIGABYTE has the highest clock speed but on pcpartpicker EVGA has a higher ghz... EVGA has 1.61 and GIGABYTE has 1.59
