Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Also there also some inexpensive gpus on the used market that would provide a nice boost: gtx 980, 1060 6GB, 1070, 1650, 1660, and RX 480/580.
  • a 1060 6gb, rx5600xt, or 1660 or 2060super would be cheaper and also a large step up from your integrated, with rx5600xt and 2060super being the better ones of those.
  • Man the fact that you've used a 1060 until now definitely telling of how good the entry level series were back then. OG 970, 1060 6GB, RX480/580.

Cons

  • for a GPU that lasts as long as your 1060 6GB has, I'd recommend something with 16GB VRAM, ideally the 9060 XT 16GB for its x16 PCI-E link on your PCI-E 3.0 setup.
  • I have a 1060 6gb and i7-6700k and have been debating for a while if I should upgrade.
