Re: spent a bit of money on my PC
the final days of this build………………….in 24 hours my new evga 1060 sc arrives 
why only a 1060 you ask ? well this is sort of linked the the graphics card topic i started , i have a samsung 27inch curved monitor and native res is 1920×1080
seen as i do everything in the 1080 res including tanks , and am not going 4k monitor any time soon (will go three 1080s) there is no reason what so ever to pay the extra cash for a 1070 or 1080 , the super clocked 1060 is by far best bang for buck if your running in 1080 , fanboys do go out and buy the 1080s but the way that card is at the moment its faster than 99.9% PCs so you will bottleneck somewhere unless you have the supporting hardware , its common sense that not many people apply when buying parts for their pcs, look at it this way , you buy a 4k monitor but have a gtx 950 graphics card ???? it will work but not as it should.
the other reasons I went for the evga SC version as at the moment i have the evga gtx 960 sc version installed and if you look this card is still holding its price pretty well today due to the fact it is a very good mid gaming card and will fit into small form factor builds ,the 1060 sc version looks the same and is the same dimensions , it also comes out on top of the tests for 1060s fps wise , noise and temps. no bells and whistles like backplate or RGB lighting , slot it in and let it do its job.
I am just in the middle of making a backplate for the new 1060 and waiting for paint to dry before next coat lol , you cant see backplate on the 960 very well in pics below but there are better pics else where in this thread. going to benchmark the rest of the afternoon with the 960 and store results then benchmark tomorrow with the new card installed.
