Hello! I'm planning to get a GTX 1060 (using a GTX 660 right now) and I can't decide between these three models:

MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127963
ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Strix: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814126114
ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Strix OC Edition: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126113&cm_re=ASUS_GeForce_GTX_1060-_-14-126-113-_-Product

I'm pretty concerned about noise levels and overall temperatures. Which one has better and more "silent" cooling? Should I go for the ASUS since it includes two free games now, or the MSI is an overall better choice? I keep reading a lot of mixed opinions, so it's hard to choose.

Also, is the OC version of the ASUS Strix worth the extra cost?

Thank you in advance!

There are two promotions: Nvidia's For Honor/Wildlands promo, and free Dawn of War 3 for buying ASUS stuff: https://www.asus.com/event/2017/rog/DOW3/USA/
