Alright you guys, give a scrub some help here. I've got a 760 gtx at the moment, and i'm thinking of buying the 1060 because it's in my price range. The reason i'm not going for the 1070 is because i don't have a 4k screen or a dual monitor setup. Like there's really no reason for me to go that beefy? Should i just get the rest of the cash and go for the 1070? I'm not looking into buying a 4k screen anytime soon that's for sure.

I just don't have the money for the Strix, but thanks for your quick response.
