I am looking to get a 1060 video card, but am a little lost as to which one. I would like to have a card that has good cooling. And preferably one that has 6gb of video memory.

Here is my system:
H110M PRO-D (MS-7996) (U3E1)
intel Core i3 @ 3.70GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
EVGA 500 watt power supply

I would recommend getting a better power supply, along with a GPU purchase. The Evga 500w PSU's are generally not very good, quality wise.

Any thing below $415.

Get the cheapest one you can find. None of them are particularly good overclockers so there's no point in spending more for an unnecessarily beefy cooling solution. If you just want an exceptionally quiet card that's a different story - go for something like an MSI Twin Frozr Gaming. It'll be a bit quieter than a single fan mini.

Exactly that card.

I do agree with the others that you can get a cheaper one and it will perform more or less the same though. I bought it mainly for the aesthetic and because I wanted the cooler to be as quiet as possible.

Mine overclocks very well, can get 9Ghz on the vram and 2150 on the gpu on stock voltage.

Is it possible you could link them with newegg.ca? When I click them they just go to the newegg canadian home page.
