Hi,

I'm upgrading my GPU, my specs are currently:
i5-4690
GTX 760
8GB Ram

I have a small case (Antec 300) so my options are limited. I was originally looking at the EVGA 1060 SC Gaming however it looks there are no supplies in my area anywhere and no ETA on when the next lot will arrive.

I have narrowed it down to the following three cards given I need a card roughly shorter than 260mm:

Gainward Phoenix GS (Base: 1620Mhz)

Gigabyte Windforce OC (Base: 1556Mhz)

ASUS Duel (Base: 1569Mhz)

They are all around the same price.

My thought is the Gigabyte since the "Windforce" is a proven cooler.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. I am more after quality/cooling than performance so the slight difference in speeds does not bother me)

Thanks
