Okay guys i really didnt know whether to go with the gigabyte or pay an extra £40 for the msi version.
In the end i picked the gigabyte as it was cheaper and the stats were only slightly lower than the msi version, really hoping i havent made a mistake

Ive got a i7-4790 @ 3.6ghz and 16gb of ram. Im hoping to run most games , dayz battlefield, battle grounds and gta V for example at near enough max settings at 60fps. Is this what i will get or have i set my standards too high? Should i return the gigabyte version and grab the msi if its that much better? Is the msi worth the extra £40?

Really dont know which one is the ideal gpu and just wanting to hear your thoughts on which gpu i should get.

Thanks :D

You should be good with what you got, I don't recommend going the extra 40 to get the MSI version. I have a PNY 1060 and it gets the job done in 1080p. I don't know if you'll be good on all of those games, dayz and battlefield are both CPU heavy as far as I know, but I have a 4670k in addition to my 1060 and I can run GTAV on (I think) max settings and get over 60fps.

If you aren't happy with the performance though, MSI version would not be the answer, the fps difference between the two would be marginal at best. If you just want high-ultra settings and 60fps in 1080p though, I think you'll be happy with what you got.
