What GTX 1060 should I buy?

Title says it all.

I was debating over the ASUS 1060 and the GIGABYTE Extreme Gaming 1060. Thanks for the help.

Depends on what you're looking for. Some have idle fan speed shutoff, some have higher clockspeeds, some have better coolers, some are cheaper, some are physically smaller.

I don't mind the size or the price, I just want the best 1060. Is the GIGABYTE Extreme Gaming 1060 a nice card?

6GB, I assume? The 3GB cards perform 95% as well and are ~25% cheaper.

The EVGA FTW+ has the highest clockspeed of any 1060 I'm aware of, by about 0.5%, though it costs about $100 more than MSRP and is very close to GTX 1070 prices.

Personally, I'd look at the cheapest cards and pick one with a nicer cooler within about $10-15 of the cheapest available.
