I'd opt for the RX 580 IF you have a capable enough power supply of good quality that is 650w or higher. If not, then I'd go with the 1060. Much depends on what the EXACT model number of your power supply is?
THAT, is not a model number. That is a very loose description of the unit's capacity AND a questionable certification that it is somewhat efficient. Find the model number ON the power supply itself. There will be a label on one of the sides that lists all the unit's specifications including the model number.

500w 80plus tells us nothing other than marketing language.
 
Not a great unit. Not "horrible" either, but definitely not a high quality model. Pretty typical of Cooler Master actually. They have very few GOOD power supplies. Very few. And that's not one of them.

Still, it will probably work for the GTX 1060. I would definitely NOT use it with the RX580. Even a very very good Seasonic Prime Ultra unit may, and have been known to, have trouble with the power demands of the RX580 at 550w, much less a less reliable platform at only 500w. If you go with the 580 you will want to upgrade your PSU immediately to a higher quality unit of 650w or more.
