I want to buy a new computer + display + speakers and now, I have to decide, whether to buy the one with a GTX 1060 3GB, a better display and better speakers, or the one with a GTX 1060 6GB, and not that good display and speakers.
Damn, my brain hurts...

    Does the display really matter to you? Or does performance matter more?

    At the moment, I use an 17inch Laptop as my desktop-computer at home.
    It has a fairly good display, so I don't want a downgrade from that.

    better display, hands down.
    Never compromise on the human facing IO devices. you are going to stare/touch/smell the thing for a long time....
    Also, buy a good chair.

    What is The rest of The computer spec? Alternativ you could build your own if it is a desktop computer you are looking for. It is not Hard The only timme consuming is picking The right parts.

    I'm still a student, and the shop, i want to buy it from gives special discounts for students, so its cheaper for me than building it on my own.

    Specs:
    Intel i5, 4x3Ghz
    8Gb ram
    128GB ssd + 1TB hdd

    Get a 6gb card, really. I ordered a 3gb one on mistake but didn't want to send it back and wait for a new one, so just went with the 3gb. Now, 4 months later, I regret it. I encountered 4 or 5 games where I could ramp the specs up more gpu performance wise, but can't because the 3gb memory fill up pretty quickly at a mid / high graphics settings combination
    So yeah, 25% gpu power to go, but no more graphics memory

    @Kimmax,
    What games exactly?
    I also have a PS4, so I'm fine with playing some games on console instead of PC.

    @metamourge Tom Clancy's Wildlands, GTAV, etc. generally everything that's remotely open world and therefore needs much graphics memory

    Ah, okay, I see.
    But, normally, I don't really play open world games, at least not the newer ones, on PC so that shouldn't be that big of a problem for me.

    Apart from the GPU,
    Does anyone of you have experience with curved displays?
    Because, there are two great displays on sale,
    One 'normal' by OMEN and one curved by Samsung.

    @metamourge curved adds a nice touch, but you'll pretty much forget it after some days. I swap between curved 27" at home and dual 24" 'normal' at work daily and don't see any advantages / disadvantages

    OK, thx.
    I've now settled with a 24" IPS, 2 small Logitech speakers and the PC with the GTX 1060 6GB.

    @metamourge 1060 3gb is a misleading pice of Crap, Nvidia sells different specs, one has 10% less CUs or something like that.

    Thanks NVIDIA.

    Gamers Nexus covered that in detail.
