Hy Hardware-Friends :)

I want to finally order my New Graphics-Card Today.
I am looking into getting a GTX 1060 6GB, but i can´t exactly decide for which version.
Options are :
Zotac GTX 1060 AMP Edition for 285€
ASUS ROG Strix 1060 for 320€
MSI Gaming 6G 1060 for 326€

Which Version would be the best?
At the first thought i would have said, i go with the Zotac, since it is somewhat cheaper, but i heard they have some Heat issues and Stuff...

Furthermore i have a i7-4790k and 16Gb DDR3 Ram, so there won´t be any Bottleneck.
I use 2x BenQ Full HD Monitors and don´t plan to go for Higher Resolutions anytime soon.

The Games i wan´t to play are : Battlefield One, Mass Effect Andromeda, Star Wars Battlefront, Paragon and Fortnite.

Any Advice would be appreciated :)

I have the msi gaming 1060 6gb, its a great card no issues at all. Out of the three I would probably go for the zotac due to its price, the zotac amp is a very good card with a more than adequate cooler for a 1060 I have not heard about any heat issues with it. The asus strix has one of the best power delivery setups of any 1060, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to help much with overclocking since the 1060 has a locked voltage.

Choice in order from best to worst (ASUS-Zotac-MSI) At the end of the day it is a GTX 1060. It just comes down to what you like and prefer. Ex:Size, looks, brand etc.
*I'd highly recommend you wait and get a RX 580 when possible. They are a refresh of the RX 480 and out perform the GTX 1060 in every way. Has more Vram, Age Better, Supports Vulcan etc. They support CF Too!

Well for starters ASUS makes some great cooled GPU's. Not only that but they are clocked higher than others and have amazing quality. I mean have you seen their motherboards? Lol.... Secondly Zotac and MSI just arent as good in terms of quality and cooling. However for the Asus cards you gotta be willing to pay the premium. Asus also uses techniques to prevent coil whine with concrete chokes. They are all good cards but I'd recommend getting an Asus over the MSI and Zotac cards.
The RX 580 will last longer, has more Vram, performs better 80% of the time, and can be crossfired. If your on a budget and get one RX 580, you can get another later down the road to get near 1080 Ti performance if the game scales pretty well.

I revisited my Options again. For now i might go with the Asus GTX 1060 Dual OC. I can get that one for 279€ including a Rocket League and a Dawn of War III Code. I also saw there is the Asus Strix Version, but that one costs 319€. I guess it is not worth to pay that extra...!?
