I have all my computer parts except my graphics card because i had planned to get a GTX 1060 but they all sold out before i could order one. There's a few available on Newegg for backorder and i was wondering if i should backorder one or just wait for more to come into stock. Maybe even buy a different card? Its my first build and I'm open to any advice as to what i should do, I just want to game.

AIB 1060s will still beat out RX 480 AIB cards, As they still won't overclock as well as the 1060, power consumption will be higher and temps will still be higher. Quite ridiculous how long its taken for the AIB cards to come out. They must have ran into some issues..

But if you are looking to Crossfire later on the RX 480 is the best choice as the 1060 cannot offer you SLI.
I wouldn't back order in case you change your mind as to which 1060 you want because all AIB 1060s aren't out yet (at least in my country)

I personally will be picking up a MSI 1060 Gaming X.
