URGENT: I will be making my purchase later on today!!
Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums here and I have a quick question on which gtx 1050 I should buy. I have a budget of $120, and need a card with 2 fans. Here are the 3 cards I am deciding between:

Gigabyte card - goo.gl/vTR3zu
EVGA card - goo.gl/DrB34Q
MSI card - goo.gl/UaVJvc

Thanks for your help! :)

PS - Sorry, the URL's were extremely long so I shortened them with the Google URL shortener; not sure if that is allowed on these forums or not.:??:

Probably the MSI. EVGA has had problems with their cooler and i wouldn't want to bother with it on a GTX 1050. Gigabyte tends to get pretty cheap with the very low end graphics cards.

I'd really like to see you get a 4GB card. 2GB just doesn't cut it in today's world.

Cant currently find a 1050 2 fan for $120 not that the 1050 even needs 2 fans. Only reason I would suggest one is with the 6 pin power to overclock. You would be better off getting a cheap single fan 1050ti.

This is the best price I can find on the MSI 2 fan.

It's a 75W card so it's extremely easy to cool, so I doubt even EVGA would have problems cooling it. (They had some cooling problems with their FTW-cards of the 1080 and 1070 yes, but those are custom cards with a 200W TDP.)
