Hey, this is my 1st build and Im not really that good in gpu's.Ive read a lot of reviews about both and I cant decide.The asus is 100$ more in my country and im not sure if its worth it going for it.

My rig is:
i5 6600k
gigabyte z170x-ultra gaming
Antec hcg 520
16gb ddr4 g.Skill Ripjaws V
Samsung 250gb 850 evo
**im still not sure for which cooler should I go ( AiO or Air cooler) help with that would be appreciated ! **

Im open to suggestions , altho I dont have brands such as MSI,Zotac,EVGA,Corsair in my country so keep that in mind when suggesting ^~^

I personally prefer ASUS stuff, more stable, much better BIOS than that of the GB, i just built an all ASUS system myself and just bought the Strix 1070 even though it is much more expensive than the GB G1 a big part of the decision is because of the AURA LEDs and better build quality, i have not had much luck with GB stuff in the past, and their BIOS was buggy as hell.
Im really new at this and dont understand anything, so any help is appreciated, thank u! Also can u help me out with the cooler for the i5? I dont have noctua in my country only cooler master
 


ddstore.mk but they dont have a gtx 1060 atm they will get them in a week or so

 


Also my budget is around 1.1k $ but with the gpu, the gpu being 370-400$
 


I like the strix a bit better cus of the LED stuff.Im a sucker for LED's. Also can I ask u about a mobo , should i go with the gigabyte ga z170x ultra gaming or with the asus hero viii? ^~^
 


I dont have a mobo or case yet, its a fully custom build by me. Im currently deciding between the z170x ultra gaming from GB or the asus hero viii. The case is totally unknown as I have no idea which one to buy(but im not planning to pay more than 100$ for it)
