I am really new to pc specifications anf stuff like that and I am really getting in to gaming and uploading videos etc. But I am getting a new pc from Dinopc. And for my budget, I can get either GTX 1060 3gb or RX 480 8GB. I know that the RX has more ram but does that mean it's good? Like does GTX 1060 perform better or something. The CPU I will use will be i5-6600k and 8GB ram. If you need anymore info, just say so.

There are so many posts comparing the two cards already.
It all depends the games you're playing. If they are mainly DX11, then get a 1060. If they are DX12, which I doubt, get a 480 8GB/4GB.
The 1060 3GB should be compared to the 470.
Get the cheapest card between the 1060 6GB and the 480 4GB/8GB and you'll be fine.
