Hi everyone.

Which of these 2 cards will run better in my current system? Just upgrading my current budget rig. Nothing fancy yet.

CPU: i3-6100 3.7 Ghz (stock fan cooler)
RAM: 8gb Crucial Ballistix (Red)
Monitor: AOC agon g2460vq6
PSU: Corsair VS450w
Case: Thermaltake Versa H25
Mobo: Msi B150 Bazooka

Thoughts? TIA

considering it's a top brand, 165$ is a fair price to be honest, just go get it.

while 1060 do have better performance, the 3gb version had 10% less resource than the 6gb and lower VRAM (ofc) so on some games u might need to lower the settings even when the GPU is powerful enough to handle the game

personally i rather stick with the 1050ti, it's cheaper, 4GB VRAM, and when i upgrade later to 1070/ 1080 / TI i have no regret since it's pretty big jump anyway

But the 1060 will bottleneck my i3-6100, and that is what I am worried about. In terms of price in my country, the Gigabyte 1050ti is priced at $165 whilst the Zotac 1060 is at $205.
