I live in Europe but am currently in Canada and have around $450 CAD to upgrade from my 1050Ti.

I'll be here til around September and was looking into my options.

 

The most obvious was a 1060 6GB for $380 CAD right now, what does everyone think?

 

I'll probably be selling the 1050Ti when I'm home.

IMO even though the 1060 6GB is a nice perf boost over 1050ti, I dont think the upgrade is worth it unless you can resell your 1050ti for a really good price.

1070 would make a lot more sense.

Yeah though getting a 1070 would also mean a new PSU which is another $80.
