Hey guys I have GALAX GTX 1060 3GB can anyone tell me FPS difference in gaming between i5 3340 and i7 3770 In games that uses high graphics ?

Take a look at some of these benchmarks. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3340/1979vsm2710

The single core speed isn't that different, and you won't see much of difference in games that use 4 or less (which is most games right now). In games that use more than 4 like battlefield or fallout, there will be a noticeable difference. Also, the i7 will be more future-proof due to the extra threads.

In games the i7 3770 will perform better than the i5 3340 with the GTX 1060 , but FPS depends on the game, game settings, resolution, RAM, etc

Some newer games, a small number of games, can use more than a 4 core/4 thread CPU. Battlefield 1 multiplayer is a good example. The game is still playable on 4 threads but it's not smooth. If you play this kind of game, then the i7 would be worth it, depending on how much it cost you.

Also, if you intend to do more than game, such as stream your games, then you'll want the i7.

Otherwise it's the 1060 that controls game performance at 1080p, so the i5 would be fine.
