Would this upgrade from a 770 to this 1060 be a good choice?

I know it seems obvious, seeing as how im like, two generations behind, but the particular model im looking at is pretty small, which is probably giving me doubts. My current GPU (NVIDIA GTX 770) is starting to lag behind with the newer titles (obviously), so an upgrade is about due.

Also, if you couldn't tell by my spectacular GPU choices, im not exactly rolling in money, so im on a tight budget.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

it will be a good upgrade for you. don't worry about the small size of the card. the gpu is rather small and does not need a ton of cooling so the small design won't really effect much.

however, if you can wait a bit and save for a better card, it would be worth the wait. you're basically moving from a bit better than a gtx 960 to a bit better than a gtx 970 which is a good leap but could be better if you waited a while and turned some settings down for a while.

Your GTX770 is still a good card.
A GTX1060 is only two tiers higher on tom's gpu hierarchy chart.

They do not recommend upgrades less than 3 tiers.
The risk is that you may be disappointed if you do not see significant results.
