So Christmas is coming up. I wanted to get the GTX 1050Ti because the price is pretty good. I originally wanted to get the GTX 1060 6GB but money is tight.
But then I was thinking......
Should I get the GTX 1050Ti 4GB
Or the GTX 1060 3GB because they are around the same price

GTX 1050TI: https://www.amazon.com/Geforce-Dual-Fan-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1050TI-O4G-Graphic/dp/B01MYMVAVM/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1514141789&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx%2B1050ti&th=1

GTX 1060 3GB: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-03G-P4-6160-KR/dp/B01KUADE3O/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1514142015&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx%2B1060&th=1

Also Is there any real difference between A full-size graphics card and a mini single fan card.

If there are any other graphics card suggestions I would be willing to take them thanks.

The 1060, even the 3gb model, is notably faster than the 1050 Ti. If their prices are even close, then get the 1060.

One thing the 1050 Ti has going for it over the 1060 is you can get the Ti in a model that does not need a pci-ex 6 pin connector. The 1060 will require a connector from your power supply. If you have one, then it doesn't matter. If your power supply doesn't have one, then the Ti would be the better choice.
