Are these two GPUs any good for mining?

1060 is pretty good, but 3gb may not work with Ethereum a bit sooner than you want.  The dag is already over 2gb

There's something cool here - you just can't see it.

They are decent, it would be good to make sure the cooling is good but should be good on those cards unless you OC.

1060 has a higher hash rate but won't be usable in a few months due to the increased in DAG size, you won't even have a year worth of mining not to mention the impending switch to Proof of Stake that will get rid of GPU mining on Ethereum. You could alternatively mine Zcash with the 1060 which doesn't have the limiting factor of the DAG size.

 

For all intents and purposes, consider Bitcoin mining dead.
