gtx 1060 ?

[iajames9619]

I have decided to pair up my fx8350 with a gtx 1060. the question here is, what brand do you guys find t be most reliable for a budget of $265? im currently looking at three, and any other recommendations are welcome, but the first is a gigabyte card, the second is a evga card, and the third is a asus card, all three of the ones im looking at right now are 6gb cards seeing as i dont want a 3gb card. Any feedback\advice\recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any preferences?
2 fans vs 3 fans?
Do you have plenty of room in your case?
Or do you need more of a compact card?

the case i have now and the case im going to be buying are both mid towers with plenty of room for a sizeable card. the card i have now has three fans, and as far as how many fans it doesn't matter, i just dont want less than two.
