The 3GB is just a crippled version of the 6GB, Including it's memory size everything else is worse compared to the 6GB ( Just as said above ).
It's still a decent card, but it's definitely wiser to get a RX 480 4GB instead of the 1060 3GB.
It's more or less like this, IMO: GTX 1060 6GB >= RX 480 8GB > RX 480 4GB > GTX 1060 3GB
It's very worth to get the 6GB instead the 3GB.
Also, two coolers will make it run cooler & more silent, it's not a must if you don't mind the noise tho.
