hey guys im in a bit of a pinch, need to figure out which Graphics Card i should run with. Trying to build a system for my little sister but idk which card would be sufficient.

Been looking at maybe a 1060 3gb or a 1060 6gb, or i could go down to a 1050ti 4gb if it wouldent be too much of a downgrade.

Prices for my country are maybe a bit hight, i have converted them from Dkk to Usd for maybe an easyer comparison.

1060 6Gb = 427 USD
1060 3Gb= 362 USD
1050Ti 4GB = 270 USD

At these prices witch would be worth it?
( games that probably would be played are maybe something like arc, roblox, minecraft, and i would like for it to be able to play 3A games. maybe some of the new ones ) idk what els

If the GTX 1050 series, get nothing less than a 1050Ti and nothing below 4GB in that category. If the GTX1060 series, get nothing less than a 6GB version.

If you have the funds, I'd ask you to go with the GTX1060 6GB version and if you're in a bind then you can get a GTX1050Ti 4GB. You can later upgrade as prices round down.

Where are you located? For your games, I'd say you're fine with the GTX1050Ti with reduced details for the AAA titles.
Depends on what graphical settings you want to play.

All of those cards will be able to play the most recent games, though not all will run them smoothly at max settings.
Obviously, the 1060 6GB is the best option here.

The RX580's are actually faster than 1060's but the problem is their pricing still a bit high.
Hopefully with the mining drop and Asrock entry to the market, will force others to drop the prices to more reasonable levels.
