Hello i am planning in building a pc soon and i am getting a 1060. I still haven't decided if i should get the 3gb or 6gb with my budget being sort of tight.

I play at 1080p and would like the best settings in my games. I play games like H1Z1, Watchdogs 2 and GTA V.

Here is the pc I plan on building -

The difference between the two isn't just the vram, the 3gb version is actually slower then the 6gb version which comes out to be a few FPS difference. I'd go with the 6gb version OR go with the R9 Fury 4gb as it outperforms the 1060 for a similar price.
