Im planing to buy new Graphics Card , but should i pick GTX 1070 or GTX 1060
i have i5 3340 and psu 450W ?

1060. The 1070 would just be held back by your CPU, and depending on the make/model of your PSU, might not have enough power.

1060 6 gb version is better match with your CPU. Although now I usually advice rx 580 instead 1060, but your PSU might come a bit short for it. Anyway make sure your PSU has all PCIe plugs required by the GPU chosen.

Allright , thanks guys 😉 , and also should i wait 9gbps versions or should i go for 8gbps ?

I wonder myself if 9Gpbs version will be better. Haven't seen any reviews yet.

I ve found Aorus version but its 40€ more expensive than MSI Gaming X 6gb :V

Dont spend the extra money, every 1060 6gb I have used (2x Asus, 1x MSI) can overclock the memory to 9g easily, literally takes 10 seconds in MSI afterburner.

Yeah but new GTX 1060 9gbps can clock to 10gbps

Yeah really not worth the extra money, once you are around 9g on the 1060 the memory bandwidth doesnt seem to be a bottleneck. I wouldnt spend extra money on it personally, but up to you.

Question really can't be answered without monitor resolution. Assuming 1080p, the 3 GB 1060 is just fine. Note that the amount of memory is not the only difference between the cards. The 3 GB model has 1152 shaders compared to the 1280 on the 6 GB model. Jumping up to the 6 GB 1060 w/ 1280 shaders will bring you about 7% more speed. If ya wait a week or 2, you should be able to get the 6GB model for the 3 GB price as stores start to have sufficient stock on the AMD 5xx cards, prices can be expected to drop a bit more.

The newer models w/ faster memory speeds are not really bringing much to the table... the MSI 1080 for example, gets manages a 4% fps increase in overclocked speed.... so if the price premium is much more than that, you might wanne grab one of the older ones.

Yeah im planing for 1080p but i want futureprof graphics , i dont prefer 3gb because in some titles it can be beaten by 1050Ti
