Is this brand of 1060 6GB card good? And help me build my PC please

[nobodytrust2008]

So I am quite new to all this PC parts and I am confused with all of the types of VGA. Which one should I pick? the OC or the normal ones etc etc.
And I heard that some Mother Board doesn't support Overclocked VGA. Are there any significant performance changes between Overclocked one and normal one?
Anyway my main question is, I found these VGAs, which looks pretty cheap compared to any other Brands. And I'm really interested in these VGAs.

Just for additional info, I'm kinda budget tight. so yea, Can't really afford much higher cards.

1. iGame nVidia GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 - X-TOP-6G - Triple fan for around 300USD
2. Inno 3D GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 ICHILL X3 for around 350USD
3. Inno 3D GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 Gaming OC for around 330 USD
4. Inno 3D GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 ICHILL ULTRA X3 for around 330 USD
5. Digital Alliance GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 Dual for around 320 USD
6. Digital Alliance GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 Super Jetstream for around 320 USD
7. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 Windforce - GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD Around 340 USD
8. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 - GV-N1060D5-6GD Around 330 USD
9. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 MINI ITX OC Series GV-N1060IXOC-6GD for Around 300USD

so, additional question, does overclocked GPU gives you better performance compared to the normal one? by how much?

^ by 3-5 fps.

Honestly out of that list maybe the inno ichills & the GB wind force are the only cards I'd put above the igame xtop.

The fact the Igame is between $30-50 cheaper would make me pick it right away out of that list.

the igame brand, since it is not a really well known brand, I want to know what you guys are thinking about it. I'm afraid if it is not a good GPU product.
So, based on your answer, the best choice right now will be the igame xtop?

 

[madmatt30]

Colorful (igame) are a smallish chinese manufacturer & their products only really sell in asia .

For that reason you won't find massive widespread reviews & a lotbof USA & European members will not even be aware of them .

This does not make them a bad manufacturer or a poor gpu.

As long as you're in an area where both the cards & support/service centres are available they are as good a choice as any other brand IMO.

Over the years I've had cards from vtx3d,club3d ,powercolor ,Galax (kfa2) , companies that at the time no one had even heard of - they were as good as any other - in fact the powercolor 280x turboduo I owned is simply one of the best 280x's ever made IMO.

Powercolor & Galax (kfa2) are bigger players now as their distribution is pretty much worldwide nowadays - they are still the same firm though.

The colorful cards always get good reviews if you Google search them , I wouldn't let thebfactvtjeyre not an international firm put me off personally

If you're Asian based then aftermarket support is likely better for them than it is for gigabyte.

On another note , are the ryzen 3 & 5 chips & b350 series boards available where you are at reasonable prices ??

The reason I ask is because the ryzen 3 1200 & 1300x are going to perform virtually the same for gaming as an i5 7500 & in most places in the world they're considerably cheaper.

The ryzen 5 1400/1500x/1600 I would class as considerably better than the i5 7500 & bother 1400 & 1500x once again are generally cheaper & the 1600 is around the same price internationally.

I understand locational prices can be an issue & they maybe considerably more expensive where you are but if they're not then they are all considerable alternatives IMO.

I understand locational prices can be an issue & they maybe considerably more expensive where you are but if they're not then they are all considerable alternatives IMO.

I found that the ryzen 5 1600 (220USD) is about 30USD cheaper compared to the i5 7600 (250USD) here.
I also found that the ryzen 1500x is around 200 USD. (20 USD cheaper compared to ryzen 5 1600)
looking at the written spec, it seems like the 1500x is better (1600 -> 3.2Ghz to 3.6Ghz while 1500x -> 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz)? and because it is cheaper?

Another thing if I use ryzen, can I use it with my nVidia? I heard some rumor about AMD CPU/MotherBoard not compatible (or will cause worse performance) with nVidia GPU.

And, will this Mother Board GA-AB350M-Gaming-3 (click to the web) support overclocking?

And since the AMD CPU already has fan cooler installed, should I get any other fan for my pc?

Looking at that case it comes with a rear 120mm red led fan.
You should purchase at least 1 x 120mm case fan to fit as a front intake.

Regarding the ryzens,The 1500x is a 4 core/8 threaded cpu, the ryzen 1600 is a 6 core/12 threaded cpu.

The clock speeds on the 1500x are higher out of the box,However becasue all ryzens are overclockable + the fact is both those cpu's at stock are capable of powering a gtx 1060 - the 1600 is a far far better buy for a paltry $20 extra.
You are essentially getting a ryzen 1500x multiplied by 1.5!!!

Doesnt make a masssive performance difference in most games now,but may well do in the future.
The 1600 is eminently more future proof.

& NO to the other question,pairing a ryzen cpu & an nvidia card is absolutely fine.

What b350 ryzen baords are available to you ??

I see. I'll take the 1600 then.

As for the PC Case, it already provided the fan in it. check this link
And the 1600 also already provided a fan as well. It is written on the description of the item below. (I copy pasted it)
"AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz Up To 3.6Ghz Cache 16MB 65W AM4 [Box] - 6 Core - YD1600BBAEBOX - With AMD Wraith Spire 95W Cooler"

So, what you said above meant that, I should pick another PC Case? or it is already enough with the Case's fan and processor's fan?

At the meantime after researching for the best value budget MotherBoard, I came up with 2 choices, those are
Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 (AM4, AMD Promontory B350, DDR4, USB3.1, SATA3) and
MSI B350M Mortar (AM4, AMD Promontory B350, DDR4, USB3.1, SATA3)

But since I browsed online a bit, and found that some people got into problems with GigaBytes, I picked MSI B350M Mortar instead.

And by the way, this is more or less my picked PC part at the moment after listening to your advices

The build looks good & all compatible.
Regarding the case & fans.
Yes the case comes with 1 rear exhaust fan,yes the cpu comes with a very good cooler.
However the case does not come with any intake fans & in any gaming pc with a gpu you need both air intake & exhaust - A front intake will bring in outsode air to the gpu & cpu enabling them to run cooler.

Thats a picture of the internal of the cube vill youre buying.

The green circle is the prefitted fan that comes with it (Ive added arrows to show the airflow)

The red circle Ive drawn at the front is where you should fit a seperate 120mm case fan as an intake.

You will then get cooler air drawn in at the front,passed to the gpu & cpu & the rear exhasut fan will draw warm air from the rear of the case.

So yes,your build list is all good - you just need to add a 120mm case fan to that list for optimal cooling (shoudl be $5-10 at most extra)

Thats showing on enterkomputer at about the same price as the cube vill.
If you dont mind the looks of it then its a better case than the cube & has 3 x 120mm fans preinstalled.

Its a very very good value for money cabinet.

Since my place is a bit dusty no matter how much I try to clean it. So I'm looking for case with dust filter.

By the way, just asking, with those specs up there, how big should the wattage on my PC be?
Since the PSU I wrote up there is not available. I'm a bit confused between getting 500, 520, 550, 600 or 620

 

[madmatt30]

A very good 450w+ would be absolutely fine.

Decent priced good quality psu's on enter computer are the corsair cx450m @ 755 , & seasonic s12 520 @ 840.

Both good choices IMO.

Oh... so 450W is already enough? Then, I'll take that Seasonic S12 520W then.

I'm still waiting for confirmation for the other parts. anyway big thanks to you mate

 

[madmatt30]

A GOOD 450w is enough easily yes
The keyword is 'good'

I'd actually take the corsair cx450m over the seasonic personally but theyll both do a fine job.

Hopefully the raijintek case is in stock because its excellent for that price & the 3 preinstalled fans & dust filters is a big big bonus

is 450W enough? since my build consist of CPU fan, LED fan. etc etc. my friend told me to get at least 500W PSU. or 450W is more than enough?
anoher question coming up.
So, apparently there are 2 types of RAM (even though it is the same) which are the normal one and AMD vers.
for ex:
Team Elite Plus Red DDR4 PC19200 2400Mhz Dual Channel 8GB(2X4GB) 16-16-16-39 - TPRD48G2400HC16DC02 - For AMD Ryzen
and
Team Elite Plus Red DDR4 PC19200 2400Mhz Dual Channel 8GB (2X4GB) 16-16-16-39 - TPRD48GM2400HC8DC01
Does it really matter? or should both of them working just fine as normal? (the prices differ a bit for around 2-3USD)
