Im buying a new gpu and i dont have much space inside my pc. I tried Asus gtx 1060 6gb dual fan, but it was too big. It hits the Sata cables. So im thinking should i buy evga gtx 1060 6gb non-superclocked (309€) or a superclocked one (349€)?

Yeah - that's over £100 more than I paid for my 1060 😉

edit: Took me ages to find the receipt, cos I couldn't remember who I bought it from:

Item

         MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 OC V1 Graphics Card [10]



         QF

         769693



         QTY

         1



         Price

         £191.82


ebuyer - think that price was ex-VAT, so call it £230


I thought I'd bought the EVGA one, but no - MSI. Should have remembered cos that allowed me to participate in the free TriDef VR trial.


Looks like the difference is still over £100:

Yes I agree, just get a full size atx case and you won't have issues with card size.  You can probably get one for $60 or so.  I'd look local to save on shipping.

I don't have so much space in my motherboard. Is the gigabyte gtx 1060 6gb just like evga gtx 1060 sc 6gb Or better
