hey i was wondering what gpu to get gtx 1060 or the gtx 980 im stuck on what to get cause ive been told and watched benchmarks they preform the same can someone help?

Get whatever cheaper you can find. they do perform about the same. 1060 has much lower power consumption and runs cooler.
Well it's also newer.

I myself would definitely go for the 1060

Older Nvidia cards underperform in DX12 games. This is architectural and has been adressed in teh latest generation. So, as DX12 games come out, the 1060 will distance itself even further. Add to this the extra 2 gigs of vram and this is a no-brainer.
