I have an FX 6300. I was going to buy a GTX 1070, but after being continuously advised to just get a GTX 1060 (as I won't be able to tell the difference due to the bottleneck).

I am looking at the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125901&ignorebbr=1). It's one of the cheaper full-sized GTX 1060s.

I am not averse to spending $20 more, so I was wondering if I should go ahead with this one or get one of the $289.99 models? (GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GV-N1060G1GAMING-6GD 6GB, MSI GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GTX 1060 GAMING X, or ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 DUAL-GTX1060-O6G 6GB; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=48%7C14%2D127%2D963%5E14%2D127%2D963%2C14%2D126%2D122%5E14%2D126%2D122%2C14%2D125%2D881%5E14%2D125%2D881)
