Now, someone ordered the parts for me. Unfortunately, I had set on my list the GTX 1060 6GB from a parametric filter and didn't realize it was a mini version. Since I have a huge case already, would it be better for me to buy a card with two fans instead of just one to prevent overheating?
I'm thinking that, if I'm to invest money, better invest into something that'll last longer, but I don't know if the extra fan makes a big difference.
If it is worth changing, what card should I use instead? Was tempted to get Gigabyte Windforce OC, but idk if the OC makes it more prone to heating?
Also, I'm tempted to get the i5-6600k instead of the 6500. Knowing that I'm not sure if I'll be OCing, is the extra 50$ CAD + Shipping worth for the upgrade? (Keep in mind I'm kinda on a budget lol)
Thanks for your time!
