If you can get the 6gb it would be on per

He linked 3 gb 1060, so I'm assuming that's his budget. RX 480 4gb is faster.

Isn't the 1060 3g better? I've been doing a bit more research and I'm getting mixed reviews.

It's a review from 2 months ago... AMD improved drivers quite a bit. Remember that it's my opinion and at the end of a day... you have to make a call.
