Hi guys! I’m just wondering if a i3 8100 coffee lake will bottleneck a gtx 1060 3gb. And is the 3gb okay? Or should i buy the 6gb?

It will in certain games that can utilize more than 4 threads, like BF1, FC5 and the latest DMC. But you should be okay otherwise. I'd try to squeeze in an i5-8400 or go for the Ryzen 5 1400 instead if that's really not possible.

No, it won't bottleneck the 1060 though i advise you to go for an i5, and 3 gigs are not ok. At least not for the money you paying for a 1060 and the price difference with the 6 gigs 1060.

Bottleneck should be small. As for whether 3gb is good, it comes to its price and 6gb model's price.

Do you already own a PC you'll be upgrading or are you building a new one?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
