CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
Monitor Res.: 1920x1080
Cost in my country:
Zotac 1050Ti 4GB - $200
Zotac 1060 3GB - $270
Zotac 1060 6GB - $350
Total budget : $1000

I can squeeze in a 1060 in budget but why spend more if you don't have to. But I do not want to upgrade in near future either. I want a card good enough for a few years.

Appreciate you taking the time to help me!

A GTX 1060 6GB would be great for maxing out 1080p games but your CPU would probably bottleneck in some instances so it depends if it's worth the money or not. As for lower GPUs i would not recommend a GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1060 3GB. the 1060 3GB because spending that much on a 3GB is pretty bad in my opinion Nvidia shouldn't have gimped it so much from the original 1060. Pushing any modern games with higher textures, shadows, etc would easily push above 3GB usage. As for the 1050 Ti, unless you specifically need an Nvidia card for say CUDA, etc the RX 470 offers much better performance for very little more a percent middle ground for budget 1080p gaming and what i would recommend to you. Since you plan on keeping it for long this would...

Since you plan on keeping it for long this would make a Radeon card a better choice since AMD has much longer support for older generations with their FineWine support. I still see old Radeon HD 7xxx cards getting boosts and patches to this day. But if you can afford it, a GTX 1060 6GB/ RX 480 8GB would be great just know your CPU will bottleneck unless you upgrade to an i5 7xxx or something equally as good. Hope this helps :)
