You're better off with the 980 imo; games these days are using a decent amount of vram and the 980 is around 15-20% faster than the 1060 in games.  Maxwell might be starting to show it's age, but it's still a decent architechture.  

"Hyper Demon" Build: 

Case: NZXT H440 Hyper Beast.  CPU: AMD R9 3900x (cooled by a Kraken X62).  GPU: AMD XFX RX 6900XT Merc 319 Black.  RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 32GB ram @3600mhz.  Mobo: Asus Crosshair VI hero. PSU: Corsair RM850x.  Boot drive: Samsung 960 evo 500gb nvme ssd.  Game storage: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA SSD.  Bulk storage: WD Black 2TB.

THere is no debate

GTX 980 is faster and overclocks nicely

It beats out even a 1060 with full 6GB of VRAM
