That would be a good upgrade. 1060 uses less power, which is probably a good idea for a prebuilts Power supply.
The i5 is a capable chip, and upgrading the video card will make a very noticeable difference. Both are good contenders, but, as gillhooley pointed out, the lower power draw of the 1060 is something to consider.
Do you know the details on your power supply? Some prebuilts come with particularly weak PSUs.

Yes any of the two GPU are great upgrade options. I would get the higher memory version of those GPU (6gb 1060 or 8gb rx480) just for future-proof. Both have almost same performance, it just depends on which games you play most.
According power-supply, I think if your prebuilt pc has a GTX760 you won't have any issue with these new cards.
Best regards
