Question Stuck between 2 Cards

[JoSTAR]

Hey guys, need a bit of help here. Been deciding on a new RTX 2070 to upgrade from my 1060. Currently waiting until the new Ryzens come out to build my new PC so I thought why not upgrade the GPU now so it's not as much leverage later.

Currently rock a:
i5-2500k Stock (with a EVO 212+ CM Cooler)
^EVGA Z68 FTW KR Mobo
8GB DDR3 Samsung Ram
GTX 1060 3GB
550W Seasonic Modular PSU 80+ Gold
250GB SSD + 1 TB Harddrive (WD Black)
ASUS PG279QZ ROG Swift Monitor

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...tx 2070&cm_re=rtx_2070-_-14-126-266-_-Product

Currently stuck deciding between these two guys. I was deciding on getting a RTX 2060 but rather shout out the extra $110-140 for the extra juice just in case.

Thanks for reading me out

Pretty sure the one you're talking about is the one I directly linked. Also yours links to the 08G and not the A8G that I linked with the deal

Just go for the ASUS ROG STRIX model....It has slightly better cooling, and the build quality of Strix cards is also excellent. But your current i5-2500k CPU might hold this GPU back in some games, creating a bottleneck as well.

Though you can upgrade once ZEN 2 7nm CPUs hit the market.

No, it's got a different item number on it. The one I linked to has a coupon discount and a rebate.
