So, my current specs are as follows:
Intel i7 6700k 4.0 GHz (not OC)
16 Gbs of ram
Nvidia Geforce 960 gtx SSC
ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING LGA 1151(Could be wrong model?)
Anyways, I've been thinking about getting a 144hz monitor for all the games I consistently play and can actually get 144 fps on (Smite, Osu, CS GO) however, I feel the need to upgrade my graphics card while i'm at it. Only one dilemma, I have no clue what graphics card I should get that would best match my PC's performance, and I don't have 600 dollars to spend on a GTX 1080. Id most likely be looking at a 1060, but there are so many of them and I don't know which one to get... Any help is much appreciated, and if you need any more info feel free to ask an I'll do everything in my power to help get it for you. This was a pre-built PC cause I was too lazy and stupid to do the sensible thing of building one by hand.
Some of the questions I might have would include:
Do I need 2 fans on my graphics card?(Believe I have 4 fans in my pc as we speak not including my graphic card- No water cooling and 2 fans are stock)
Do i need 6GB of Vram on the card?
Is it worth buying a more expensive version of the 1060 or getting for example the 300 dollar MSI Armor 6GB version?
Hope you guys will be able to give me a better understanding of what to do because i'm certainly stuck at the moment. Thanks again!
