Iam Having a Cool Master K380 case .
My GTX 1060 6G Turbo has a Blower Style Cooler which i personally think is less efficient than a axial fan and water cooling while OC mode. So iam looking for making a change in my graphics card.
I would like to overclock it .
So please recommend me a compatible mod.

As far as i know there are no water blocks for Pascal cards as they are so efficient these days thermals are no longer an issue. There is no point in watercooling them unless the card is thermal throttling in which case you can ghetto rig a cpu waterblock over the GPU. Downside to this is leaving the VRMs and GDDR5 open to overheat. Plus for the price of watercooling a 1060 you could get a 1070 so there really is no point.

You can check various full cover water block from EKWB , yours must be reference PCB so should work with any EK FC 10x0 check here just to be sure. Or EK Thermosphere universal GPU water block.
If you don't run open loop water cooling, then use Arctic Accelero Xtreme III.
Think of these coolers as a investment, especially open loop water cooling with supported motherboard and PSU.
