Same card as the more expensive non-black 1070 SC. Main differences are that it has no back plate and is a slightly different colour (which are quite minor)
All reviews indicate this cards runs cool and is quiet. 3 year warranty.
EVGA are widely regarded as having the best customer service in the industry. They also have a UK RMA centre which usually means a 1 week or less turnaround time.
Finally, they offer a 'step-up' program. This allows you to (within 90 days of purchase) buy a newer Nvidia 1000 series GPU by trading in your 1070 and paying the difference. So for those of you wanting a GPU now, but eager to get the rumoured 1080ti, this may be the card for you.

Is it worth the extra £100 from the 1060?

Depends what resolution you play at.
The 1060 will provide a very good experience at 1080p.
That is a good idea as 2nd hand 970's were going for around £120 last time I saw. The only issue I see is VRAM but I suppose at 1080p 3.5GB should suffice.

Did you have a smile on your face when you posted that comment??
If not, then to confirm, it is worth the extra £100.
If you're half interested in a 1060 then I think I would go for a second hand 970 as there's loads on the market right now at very good prices.

Got one of these, whichever one comes with the backplate. Super quiet and powerful card. EVGA CS is great too.

What's the boost clock on this as the website says two different boost clocks.

Although do bear in mind that the boost clocks figures are usually way off anyway. I would imagine this easily boosts above 1900mhz
