The 3 GB version will be sufficient for your use, though you may want to consider playing it safe and go with the 6 GB version.

 

The 6 GB version also has ~5-10% more processing power compared to the other version.

The 6GB version is better but you may want a bit more horsepower for 4K video editing, consider a GTX 1070 8GB, GTX 1080 8GB, GTX Titan XP 12GB or wait for the GTX 1080Ti.

Strictly speaking vram won't help that much with video editing/rendering.

System ram should be your priority.

To be an expert is to know more about less.

Maybe a used 780 Ti? It costs just as much as the 1060 and has better compute performance....
