Hi, I'm planning on upgrading my GPU but I'm torn between the RX 570 from team red and the GTX 1060 3GB and before you ask, I'm not willing to spend an extra £100 on 3 extra GB because I don't think that its all needed.

Oh before you ask, my current GPU is a MSI GTX 770 but it's fans are starting to die. So please, what GPU should I go to, RX or GTX? 

Cheers

The 1060 3GB is slightly faster (15-20%) in most games, so go with that if the price is good.

It's no where close to 20% difference. They render functionally the same performance, though it depends precisely on the game which is slightly better. Your real question is which is a better price?

the 1060 is a much better option.
