First things first, a GTX 1060 would benefit greatly if you overclocked your CPU. At stock speeds, an FX-6300 won't allow a GTX 1060 to reach its full potential.

To answer your question, the best one to buy is the cheapest. The various clock speeds only translate into a few extra frames. Smaller cards with a single fan tend to run hotter and louder, so stick with dual or triple-fan setups. Unless your case is very small or has limited airflow, you should also avoid blower-type coolers, such as the ASUS Turbo, for the same reasons.
