Thanks for looking into my post.
I have decided my build but I am a bit confused with the GPU. I need a 150$ GPU by late october.
Should I go for the GTX 1060 3GB or wait for the GTX 1050 4GB? I'll be playing GTA V, FIFA 17, Battlefield 1 and newer titles at 1080p at Medium-High settings with avg. 30-50 FPS.

PC:-
CPU- Intel Core i5 6500 @ 3.2GHz
MoBo- MSi B150M PRO-VDH
GPU-?
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (8x2GB0 DDR4 2133Mhz RAM
SMPS - Corsair Vs550 550 Watt SMPS
Case- Not needed

Please tell which one is better or if any other GPU will be even better for the same price.
Please help ASAP.
Regards.

Definitely the 1060. The 1050Ti isn't going to have nearly the power of the 1060. The power of a GPU doesn't necessarily come from the amount of VRAM it has, but more about CUDA cores, Texture processing units and other such components. The 1050 Ti has 34% less CUDA cores, and almost half as many texture units, and lower memory speed and bandwidth, literally the only thing it has more of is VRAM, which does not equate a better card.

If you're stuck on that budget 1060 is the way to go. If not I personally would spring for a 1070, as it will give you more power and let you max out pretty much anything at 1080p and allow you to upgrade to 1440p and still give good playable performance.
Just my opinion though.
