I'd say 6GB if you wanna touch on 1440p. You'll still need to lower settings, but at least it'd be playable in some form. The 3GB can't offer you that. Plus, selling the 6GB will get you more cash. Save up for part of a 1070 or 1080 and sell the 1060 to make up the rest. 1070's can be found for $400-$500, and if you sell the 1060 on here or eBay for, say, the price of a 1050 ti, it should fly right out of your hands (for reference, a 1050 ti is $130-$150 give or take). That cuts your 1070's price down to $370-$250, depending on the price, and how much you sell the 1060 for.
Yeah I'll probably pick up the 6gb card as it will give me a little more versatility. I would probably skip the 1070 though, not worth going from a 980ti to a 1070. I'm hoping AMD comes out with something cool or NVIDIA's prices drop a bit in the next couple of months. The 1060 would stay in the server though, it wouldn't be worth upgrading to a 6gb card and then selling it for cheap.
