Need help choosing between Sapphire SE and MSI Gaming X

[GabeBB]

Looking for opinions on these two. I heard great things about both so I'm having trouble deciding. I like the idea that the 1060 is more energy efficient but at the same time it costs a bit more and isn't really more powerful afaik.

our computer is for gaming, large case, Extreme6, 6600k.

Happy belated new year

it's really a toss-up as they both have they're strengths and weaknesses. Ive had them both they are good cards

Thanks Norcalsc, do you think the Intel one might be a bit cooler or do they get about equally hot?
