a gtx 1060 is a good alternative to amd, it's on par with a 470 on other algo, not ethereum, people need to learn that there are better coin than ethereum, but amd is good for dual mining i see this as the onyl reason to go for amd, otherwise always nvidia, zcash and lbry is also strong now

Also look into using something like zpool.ca for a pool. I have been using them since they started the site in beta.

if you get a gtx 1060... you would make some decent returns on the skein algo.... I've been doing quite well with it in the past few months, and even more with the optimized ccminer alexis78 build. The nvidia cards have better resale value, and are proving to be more efficient in many ways. My 3x 1070 equivalent test farm turns out 0.420BTC+ every 2 months mining only skein (based on last 2 months).

With zpool it's as simple as using a BTC address as your username, and your password is just to tell it what your payout coin is (c=BTC is the shortest password I suggest). Just download the miner app, connect to the address/port, and wait for returns.

I have written profit switching and manual switching batch files for zpool. Also have many tutorials and info for getting started via the batch link in my sig.
