I don't have any other options those are the only ones under 250$

the better ones are 350 and more

How do you plan to use them? Gaming? If so, what resolution, settings? 
How much does RX 580 4GB cost at your local market?

[GoldenLag]

do you have access to the second hand market? 

a R9 290x or a 780ti, or a 980/970 should performs similarly or better. 

 

RX 580 4 GB might cost roucly 250$ depending on the regional market

the rx 580 8gb is 320 the 4gb is a lot higher in price idk how

What games do you play? Certain games are more graphically demanding than others.

What CPU do you have?

[a7mddiaa]

i5 7400 I may upgrade soon but I will upgrade to a similar one maybe 8th gen i5 not an i7 or thread ripper

[Christophe Corazza]

The goal is to find a GPU-CPU combo that won't cause any bottlenecks.

There shouldn't be a bottleneck between your i7-7400 and a GTX 1060 3GB.

 

However, if it fits your budget, I would go for the 1060 6 GB instead. This card can be seen as kind of a 1060 Ti having not only more VRAM but also more power (CUDA cores 1280 vs. 1152) compared to the 3 GB version.

This is especially true when you are planning to upgrade your CPU in the near future. The additional performance that you get from the 6 GB version will play very nicely with a more powerful CPU than your current 7400.

 

So, as a conclusion: your CPU will probably not bottleneck a GTX 1060 3 GB. And, if you have the budget, get yourself the 6 GB version. It will definitely be worth it.

Well both have the exact same core/boost speeds.

I will say this however: EVGA has much better customer support/service should you need it. Also EVGA's standard warranty is 3 years with a 5 year extended warranty option and Zotac's is 2 years with a 1 year extended warranty option.

If I would buy a GeForce graphics card, I always go for either EVGA or ASUS. So in this case I will go for the EVGA 1060 3 GB. 

BUT, as I have said: you should really consider going for the 6 GB version instead.
