GTX 1060 6GB for 900p Gaming?

Overkill? 3GB version enough?

Yes, 3gb is enough for most games out there.

Although yes it is overkill it’s probably not stupid overkill. It gives you the option of upgrading to a 1080p monitor and/or it should meet your needs for longer before needing your next upgrade.

The difference between the 3gb and 6gb isn't just the vram but the 6gb has a increased cuda cores which does allow it to perform a bit better. If the budget allows I would recommend the 6gb version.

Given the 1600x900 screen only has 70% of the pixels of a 1920x1080... AND ASSUMING that OP isn't planning to upgrade monitors anytime soon, this makes me wonder if the 1050Ti would actually be sufficient for max details at 1600x900.
