I remember when I was a student with very little money, I was forced to be creative. You should be able to buy used GTX 960 on eBay for about $100. Like most PC hardware, the only point of failure there is fan. Even if it fails, it should be cheap to replace. Sure it’s slower than 1060 you want, but not _that_ much slower, single precision is 2.3 TFlops versus 3.9 TFlops.
