I'm a bit torn with a recommendation. I generally go to Nvidia cards, and while the GTX 1060 is a little faster overall right now it seems any game released with DX12 or Vulcan gives the edge to the RX 480. Another thing with the 1060 is that it doesn't support SLI, while the 480 does have the option of Crossfire down the road. I'd probably go with the RX 480.

Go for the 1060 6GB, works out the same price as the RX 480, is better optimized and performs 10% better.
@jeffreddo, no point upgrading to crossfire RX 480s anyway, scaling isn't great and it'd be a waste of cash really.
I wouldn't consider SLI even if it was available with the 1060, only with the 1070 and up does it become truly viable imo.
