Ok so i have been looking on Amazon.com for good deals on GPUs as i want to upgrade and i have finally decided to go for a Gtx 1060 from my old trusty PowerColor R9 280X Turbo Duo but i cant really tell which one of the following cards is the best regarding temps, noise and overall performance.

Can you help me?

Gigabyte Gtx 1060 Windforce OC 6GB

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-1060-WINDFORCE-GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD/dp/B01JNUO6BG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475670505&sr=1-1&keywords=gigabyte+gtx+1060

EVGA Gtx 1060 SC Gaming ACX 2.0

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6163-KR/product-reviews/B01IPVSLTC/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&sortBy=recent

I do not wish to spend more than those 260 USD priced for both products..

P.S: I intend to keep playing upcoming games at 1080p max settings as Im doing now, but everybody knows that GPUs age and my card is starting to.

Thank you very much!

The Gigabyte will be better cooled imo but the Evga will have the best warranty. Would you not be better off waiting for AMD Vega? If you are interested then the Gigabyte can be had cheaper and with free mouse here. Evga one is $10 cheaper here too.

Yeah a RX 480 or GTX 1060 would be perfect. If I was you I would also be looking at getting another 8GB RAM to pair with the current stuff though, BF 1 and quite a few other games go over 8GB now.
