I am upgrading from a gtx 1060 6gb to a rtx 2070 super, I don't know which variant / model to get, such as asus strix variant or the gigabyte windforce version.
I am mostly upgrading for more fps on games so im looking for performance mostly, so the card will be used for gaming.
If you could recommend a different variant which isn't mentioned then please do.

Budget £500 - £600

Specs:
Case - NZXT H500
CPU / Processor - I7 6700k
GPU - GTX 1060 6GB
Power supply - cm650x
motherboard - Asrock z270 taichi
CPU cooler - Hyper 212x evo
ram - 2x4 Corsair vengeance LPX 2400 - CMK8GX4M2A2400C14
1x8 Hyper fury - HX424C15FB2/8
 
Solution
I'm mainly going to be playing at 1080p as i play competitive games such as CS:GO and Rainbow six siege

It'd be a decent improvement, especially with those games. The other misinformed poster is probably thinking that because a 9900k would get 300 fps and a 6700k probably something like 250, that the processor is too weak.

It isn't. I run a 2080 with a 4790k @ 4.6Ghz @ 1440p and get between 100 and 130fps in BF5. You'd see an uplift, but it'd be more balanced if you were running at 1440p.

Nice upgrade, but your processor is to weak for rtx 2070 super.

So should i stick with the Gigabyte aorus 2070 super or?
