anyone knows what i should do?

Search on YouTube or google benchmarks of the games you plan to play/stream and see how each graphics card behave. This way you know what graphics card suits your needs. If it's the GTX 1060, then keep your monitor and invest later you got the money to buy the monitor you wanted.

 

Personally considering that 1060 powerful than 1050 ti I would recommend it (also there's a little futureproof in it - if we can ever say futureproof). But again search which one is better for you.

well.. i did look at benchmarks, but not for the asus dual 1060

the differences in fps are negligible between brands (usually the temps are the factor in deciding a brand, along with support and design)

yeah, i was gonna get the 6gb and sacrifice my monitor, but i found out that the asus gtx 1060 3gb OC is selling for 1150, so i could get that card and get a slightly cheaper 1920x1080 monitor that i found the other day.

Don't go for the 3gb variant. You might as well just go with 1050Ti if so.

so i guess just roll with the new monitor and stick with the 1050 ti?

Sorry I misread. So you already have the 1050Ti. Then yeah you could do that for now and when you have the money go for 1060 or for which one you get a better deal at that time. You could even sell your 1050Ti and put towards the new one.
