I am wanting to buy a GTX 1060
In my region the 3gb version is 220 euro and the 6gb is 290 euro

Is the 3gb difference really worth the 70 euro?

If you're quite budget constrained and play on a 1080p or less monitor the 3GB is a good choice. I personally would get the 6GB version, but I can see how paying 1/3 more might be hard to swallow for some for an extra 10% in performance and extra VRAM.

Worth is something only YOU can determine.
The 6gb version, as I recall, is slightly faster because of other things than the vram.

My take is that if you can afford it, buy the stronger product or you will forever be wondering if you should have.
