Hi everyone,
I'm building a game PC but I'm stuck at the GPU. I have limited my option between MSI rx 480 gaming X and Asus DUAL-GTX1060-3G. Can someone help me with which one to choose? Also what are the noticeable differences in game?

I will use my PC for gaming and maybe for photoshopping and video editing. (I am not sure)
The games I am going to play are League of Legends, CS:GO, Battlefield 1, Overwatch, War Thunder and Rainbow Six Siege. (and in the future more :D )

My pc:
CPU: intel core i5 6600k (cooler hyper 212x)
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII hero
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
SSD: Kingston 120 GB (only for windows)
HD: WD black edition 1TB (7200 RPM)
Case: NZXT h440 (Razer edition)
Power Supply: Not sure which to buy

Thank you in advance,
Walt

Using recent drivers the two card are pretty much equal where benchmarks are concerned. Some games run slightly faster on one than the other.

RX 480 does use more power & makes more heat.

Above said, I chose MSI rx 480 gaming X 4g for my gaming rig.
