Oh! Sorry about that, thing is as i had to assemble 2 computers i gave them directly to the guy that imports the parts and he put them together, so that's why!!

thats a shame! wanted to see some sexy hardware pics of a new Rig born !
congrats about the rig, hope you will experience some great times and gaming sessions with it!

I think you should go with either of them(480 8GB or 1060 6GB) it's all down to preference as they're really close in terms of performance...I would go with 480 because it comes with BF1

Final update. Got my 1060, got my i5 660k at 4.2ghz, it's a breeze, runs BF1 @1080 everything at ULTRA settings, TAA, you name it, 90+ fps constantly, it's fucking amazing, i've never been happier with a purchase. No more fiddling around with weird settings, IT WORKS, out of the box, the motherboard adjusted settings loaded by default to OC 6600k's it got me to 4.2ghz no probs under 50° at full load, the GPU works wonderfully peaking at 1950mhz on clock speed thanks to being the ASUS OC version, 65° degree at full load with the fans at 55% (custom curve of course).

I love EVERYTHING about my new pc. Thank you guys for the help and i'm just so glad and let me tell the you, the grass is greener on this side.

Until we meet again AMD.
