I have no idea if the difference between GPU manufacturers is big when deciding which card buy.
I currently am planning to get an RTX 2060. Despite not being new to PC gaming, I never built a system before and any help is highly appreciated.
PS: If you think I could get a better card for almost the same price I'm open to it.
Down below I have the 2 cheapest options currently where I live. I would like to know if you were in my position, which one would you buy and most importantly, Why? Thanks, guys!

Asus TUF GeForce RTX2060 OC 6GB - 90YV0CJ1-M0NA00(303€)
Asus GeForce RTX 2060 Dual 6Gb Oc Evo - 90Yv0Ch2-M0Na00(305,90€)

 
There are a few other factors that could affect GPU choices. What resolution / refresh rate are you looking to play at and are you looking to play the latest AAA games with ray tracing enabled etc.

If you're not sure on the above then if you link your monitor that'll give a hint.

I'd say that at that price range and particularly on the 2000 series ray tracing is out of the question, to get playable frame rates you'd like have to move to one of the newer incoming 3060Ti cards at a minimum. However price and availability are still very much in the air so I wouldn't bank on this being an option in the near future. For most people, including myself, ray tracing isn't something that's hugely important at the moment and still faces widespread adoption into games (someone feel free to correct any innaccuracies here).
 
With regards to the card choice differences between manfaturers of the 2060 in particular, the main differences will be speed (although usually not by a huge amount), cooler design and size. If size isn't a concern then going for the highest clock speeds at your price point is a good way of finding the right card for you. A quick Google on that specific card will usually turn up a review where they'll often sum up whether that card is a good option or something to avoid in preference to .

There are also better power delivery systems for higher overclocking cards, however a lot of the time they often quite a large jump in price and if you're not planning to OC your card at any point the this is often unneccesary.

Thank you for your reply! I guess I'll go with the Dual Evo since, for the same price I would get more Clock and Boost Speed! If I can get RT in a game it would be good(if not sacrificing too much FPS. But even if the game doesn't support RT or it is not noticeable i don't mind at all).

Sounds good. Hope you enjoy your purchase.
