Nothing that will make you any money. All the big coins like Etherum and whatnot require at least 3 GB of VRAM. If you just want to do it for fun, there are plenty of smaller alt-coins that you should be able to mine. Use NiceHash or something and it will pick the best for you.

Looking at some other peoples stats for mining with that card you can pull around 160 sol/s in Zcash, which (if you don't include power) is around $25/month if you ran nonstop. It all comes down to what you want, you should probably OC and set an aggressive fan curve IMO if you choose to mine. 

Spoiler

[CPU] - Intel Core i5-4590  

[Motherboard] - MSI B85-G43 GAMING 

[RAM] - Kingston HyperX Beast (2x4GB) 1866Mhz... CPU only supports 1600Mhz

[SSD] - A-Data SP600 128GB SSD

[HDD]- 1Tb Seagate Barracuda

[GPU] - EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC

[Case] - Corsair SPEC-03 White 

[PSU] - Rosewill 450W 80+Bronze

I always forget about ZCash, good point :) 

Zcash doesn't have the memory restrictions like Ethereum and the likes so that's an option.
