MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X OR Gigabyte Gaming G1 1060

Hi. I'm looking for a 1060 for my first build in Canada. I've got my sights set for one of these 2 cards. I personally like the MSI for its nicer design, lack of coil whine, and cooler which provides lower temps. The problem, however, is that the only one in stock is the G1 currently on Newegg for $389.99 and the MSI is priced at $399 but out of stock. My question is that should i just go for the g1 and not risk that one going out of stock too or wait for the MSI for who knows how long?

-also heard that g1 has coil whine issue
-does g1 oc mode run faster than gaming x?

The MSI in my opinion. Both will perform similarly but the cooler on the MSI looks better.

So should i wait for the MSI or not take the risk and just go for the Gigabyte?
