Hi, I'm building my first desktop computer and plan on using it primarily for work (Graphic design) but I'm also going to be using it as my primary gaming system. I'm new to the pc gaming world, and I feel that 1080p is more than enough compared to where I came from. I picked out most of the parts using PCPartPicker, but I can't decide on the graphics card.
Keep in mind that in my country the 1060 and 1070 are 200$ apart.
Specs.
Intel Core i7-6700K
Silverstone AR06 40.2 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus Z170I PRO GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
A-Data Premier SP550 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Silverstone RVZ02B case
Silverstone 500W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply
Silverstone SOD02B DVD/CD Writer

The monitor I plan to use is the LG 29UM58-P 29IN UltraWide

Thank you!

As you only want 60FPS then the GTX 1060 is perfect. You will be able to max most games except the most demanding with decent frames.
