Considering the GTX 1060 GPU - 3GB vs. 6GB?
I know that 6GB will generally perform better than the 3GB GPU, but cost wise...it's astronomical for me to pay an extra $100.00 to outfit my A10-7800 CPU/FM2+ MOBO with the 6GB GPU. Is it worth ...

It's a tough decision...when it comes to having to decide; since the primary function of the machine will be photo/video editing with a side benefit of being able to play games. I'm currently shooting 720p video with the D300s, but the next step will be to 4K (for photography instructional videos - a basic "follow me into the wild" type video series...as I go out and photograph wildlife and landscapes.

That's the primary use of the machine and why I'm looking at a good video card as well as an i7-7700K processor. If I wasn't going to play games on it too (can't afford to get a second machine dedicated to just video-editing or I'd get a Xeon processor with 12+ cores to be able to process 4K video (that I shoot on my photo-excursions) at a speed that won't keep me tied to the computer). I have to compromise, get the best possible machine that will be able to play games and still be able to process video at a speed that "won't keep me tied to the computer bench for an entire day waiting for the video to compile")
