Debating about upgrading or just buying a water pump have a hydrocopper 2 gtx 580 that needs a new water pump, but I was thinking I'm better off buying an air cooled card since chances are the card will be dying within the next year was hoping for input on best direction

it will run cool enough unless your case airflow has serious problems .you can read review of some versions of gtx 1060 and decide.i would suggest buying the 6gb version.you will have better texture quality for future or even some of the current games.

you can buy a gtx 1060 which is far better card and a noticeable upgrade my friend.if you stretch your budget you can buy even better cards.spending money to keep the gtx 580 is not recommended.

thinking of just going with the 3gb single fan but worried it wont keep it cool enough or be enough to run games on high because passmark doesnt differentiate the 1060s reviews
