  Hello, I believe you are meant to explain what games you intend on playing first for a more tailored answer. An 1060 6gb is a good overall performer however I prefer to play my Nintendo PlayStation

            @dcep: I'm so confused with what to get as there are so many brands now… and should i get the 4gb or 8gb?

            theres MSi, Asrock, Radeon, AMD, Gigabyte and ASUS.

            Is there any particular difference?
            What I've looked at so far…

            MSI RX570 4GB ARMOR OC PCIe Video Card PN RX 570 ARMOR 4G OC for $186.15

            Asus AMD Radeon RX 570 Expedition OC 4GB GDDR5 Gaming Graphics Video Card HDMI for $237.15

            ASRock Radeon RX 570 Phantom Gaming D OC 8GB Video Card for $257.54

            SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 580 8GB Super OC Gaming Video Card NITRO+ AMD Graphics 4K VR for $289.99

            Thanks for the help :)

              @trarob: Brands don't matter much, there are only slight differences on cooling performance but all within 5% of each other at most. However just because the cooler is better doesn't mean the card will run faster, it just means the fans don't have to spin as fast (less noise as a result)

              If you're getting an RX 580 the best ones are usually the ones made by Sapphire but as you can see, they also cost slightly more.

              MSI armor cards are usually the cheapest ones because they usually have wimpy heatsinks, so if you want a quiet card don't get the Armor.
