I would not go any lower than a 1060 6gb or a 580 8gb. Any lower than that and it wont be a big enough jump in performance. The 1060/580 are made for 1080p/60hz at high settings. They are great cards.

As for RAM, I would stick with your 8gb for now. I would put that money towards a better GPU as you will see better performance in most games with a 1070 and 8gb of RAM instead of a 1060 with 16gb.

i could get the 1070gb and 8gb more ram if i really wanted and now it would help

The 1070 is a great card and a total of 16gb of RAM is ideal. So if that is in your budget, then go for it. What monitor do you have? If you are going to get a 1070, you need to pair it with at least a 1080p/144hz monitor. If you are gaming on a 1080p/60hz panel, then your monitor will be your bottleneck because the best it will show is 60fps.
