As the title states, I'm looking for the card that will give me the ability to get 60 fps on the 10 preset on 1080p.

I've read that the 480/580 is the better overall card, but the 1060 performs much better with WoW, and that's the only game I play...

gpu wise the gtx 1060 is more than enough

however wow is seriously cpu bound, so if you have a weak cpu adding more gpu power would net you 0 fps gains

I'm running an oc'd 3570k with a GTX 660 atm. I was pretty sure it was my gpu slowing me down, could definitely be wrong though. I kinda thought the 1060 6gb and 480/580 were overkill but I just wanted to be sure it would knock it out of the park since it is the only game I really care about.

I can vouch for what maxalge posted. Running a 3570k @ 4.5 with a 1080ti (formerly 680) at 1440p, and next to no gains in fps. For Wow, you will definitely get a bigger performance boost moving to an i7 than what I did gpu-wise(680 - 1080ti).
