If you are on a budget I'd be looking at the 3g 1060 or 4g 570.  Both should be around 200.00.

6GB 1060's will do better than the 3GB 1060's if you are mining ETH.  Not sure on other coins.  Also, the 6GB card will have better resale value.  Make sure you get a spare USB key with the OS already loaded and ready to go.  This is good in case something goes wrong with the original. 

If you feel that this is something you are going to do for a while then please get yourself a Power Supply Tester.  They are cheap enough and will save you so much time in the future if your system starts to fail.

Good luck!

You can still mine ETH? I thought that there was a hardfork and that Erthereum is now POS, Proof of Stake?? Or am I wrong?  ???

Yeah, they will mine better but there is a cost issue.  He is trying to be around 200.  2 1060 3g will mine better than 1 1060 6g.

Slightly wrong, you can still mine at least a year hopefully, have you heard about BYZANTIUM Fork?

At the current difficulty and price. you will make revenue at least in 2x 1060GPU:

ETH - 2.27$

Nicehash Cryptonight - 3.44$

Cost is not yet deducted, calculate your electricity rates per day then subtract to above figures, that's your probable profit as of today.
