Which GTX 1060

Idk where you're finding a 1060 3GB for 100 pounds, but most of the ones I've found cost 160.... If you really have one for 100 pounds, and you're sure you're not mistaken or getting scammed, go for it.

I am very sure I am not getting scammed.

1 thing to note about eBuyer - their next day delivery before midnight is a scam, I ordered at about 11pm and they were like "the order didn't reach the warehouse quick enough"

No shit that your order isn't going to deliver the next day if you're ordering at 11pm. I'd feel sorry for whoever is stuck working at a warehouse at that hour. If you ordered in the afternoon, the latest, I'm sure you'd have a better experience. 11pm is pretty much the next business day already as most businesses close for the day by the late evening.

If you're not a YouTuber that record videos and have complicated timelines in your editing software, you don't need to get the 6gb version. If you're just a gamer, the 3gb version will suit you just fine. Don't listen to all these people telling you to get the 6gb version. Think about it, is it really worth it to spend that extra 100 for another 3gb of vram when you can spend it on something like an ssd or ram? Anyway, good luck with your build!

This is a really interesting way to look at it tbh. I could do with an SSD and maybe some more ram. I'll add that to the list of things.

But its the fact that they advertise next day if you order by midnight is the false advertising part.

I went with a 1060 6gb over a 4, and It was the last card I ever needed to buy.

I would recommend a rx 580 too, to support open source software.
