asus strix RX 570 4gb vs Zotac gtx 1060 3gb

[skyhawk123]

This is my first ever thread and my first PC build so please bear with me.
My specs are as follows.
Processor: Pentium g4560
Hard disk: 256 gb SSD
Mobo: Gigabyte GA B250m D2V
ram: 8 GB Corsair vengeance 2400mhz (will be upgraded to 16 gigs in 6 months)
Power supply: Corsair VS 550w Psu (with 2x 2+6 pin connectors)
I have a 21 inch FHD display which i am not planning to upgrade for sometime.

So i've selected these graphic cards (the exact same models as indicated in the title), these two are almost the same price in my region. The main query is, which will be better in the long run for 1080 p gaming in medium/high settings (Ultra not specifically needed) at 60 FPS for three years most? I'm getting mixed recommendations from various sources, so i'm very confused about my decision. Some are saying that the gtx 1060 is not exactly a 1060 but a cut-down version of it, but its has a slightly powerful graphics core than RX 570. Whereas others are recommending the AMD RX 570 since it has 4 Gigs of memory which is supposedly future proof, but slightly loses against the GTX 1060 3 gb version. I currently have absolutely no bucks to afford a gtx 1060 6 gb although it is better than these two. Also i will upgrade my CPU to a i5 7400 next year maybe. Taking these into consideration what GPU maybe the wise choice to buy.

Sorry for the long post Thanks in advance guys for your time and reply

Well that's the question... GeForce GTX 1060 is the more powerfull graphics card (even in 3 GB VRAM version) than Radeon RX 570. On the other hand, Zotac has very basic model with only one fan and there's nothing fancy about it. And those 3 GB of VRAM omg... what did Nvidia think of? Asus Strix are usually very good cards. They are focused on low temps. Chances are that it will be more silent. But it's more power hungry (altough 550W PSU is more than enough).

I hate to say it, but for the same price Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB is better card. Mainly due to it's raw performance.
