Hello guys, I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU to RX 570 4gb or GTX 1060 3gb but will it bottleneck with my specs?

i3 3200 

Asus H61MK motherboard

16gb Ram ddr3

4TB HDD 480GB SSD

& How much PSU do i have to get for the GPU? 

PS i cant afford to buy a new CPU

Dude go for sure with the RX 570 it will definitely play your games much better than those lousy 3GB on that 1060. If it's even an option snag a used 8GB 570 but the Polaris card will have way better results. 

Cheers bud and good luck!

Either are good options, go for whatever is cheaper.

Yea it’s gonna be bottlenecked by the i3.

Pick up a Corsair CX550m or something similar. Just needs a 6 pin really, if you have to go cheap get the VS550.

An i5 3470 is 25$:

Both GPU has same prices in my country but GTX 1060 3gb is better than RX 570 according to the people on internet so i was thinking will it have an impact on my Pc too or both will be the same because of my crappy cpu

No the 1060 doesn't beat the 570 and Polaris ages considerably better. And no game developer would optimize games to run on 3GB VRAM rather even numbers like 4 or 8.

The 1060 6GB is approximately equal to an RX 580. The 3gb model will run out of shader support in modern games. 

 

The 3200 is likely a bottleneck, but who cares? It's not so big that it's likely to manifest much.
