Why? They're awesome cards. Great performance for the price, and a lot of potential for undervolting and overclocking.

i thought about it but i found the 1060 at a better price. people said they're very comparable and to just go for the best priced one, so i did.

Nice upgrades. I used to have the same CPU, but changed it a few years ago to a FX-8320.

I have the GTX 1060 6GB and I love it. Jumped from a R9 270 2GB.

im really just excited to play my PC again.

back in 2009 when i first build this, and then 2011 when i upgraded it it was great. i spent lots of time playing WoW and Team fortress 2 and other games.

but now... WoW lags unless i put it on low/medium, and even then it struggles to stay above 40FPS.
Overwatch runs at 60fps... on medium with most of the things turned off and that thing that scales down the rending to about 70%. its ugly. and then when things go crazy, as they often do, it slows to 20-30 FPS.

the only thing that keeps my PC still usable is its SSD that i use. except its being bottle necked because my motherboard only supports Sata3!

WORST of all is that i have a heating issue because of my graphics card. it has 2 fans on it and one of them died. as a result, if i don't turn my case fans on FULL BLAST it either starts throttling, stuttering, or will just restart. looking forward to finally having a silent pc. i bought 2 corsair PC fans (that glow blue of course) and will replace some of my fans.

i just feel guilty about spending money on this.. but my mental health will improve and i will have a good PC for the next 5-8 years again that SHOULD be easier to upgrade. my old mobo is Am2+. i can't do shit with that.
