Hi i need to ask somebody to help with upgrading my gpu. I used to have an amd r7 250 1gb as my gpu of my pc which i recently upgraded the motherboard and its cpu. But the gpu had stopped working and ive already had a cheap old gpu which is a gtx550 ti disguised as a gtx750. Now im plannimg to buy a gtx 1060 3gb to replace but idk if my computer can handle it without bottleneck and such.

If I were you I would opt for the 6gb variant as they're actually two different cards, and there are other differences other than the memory buffer. It would be a bit more future proof.
