I recently bought a 1060 6gb and when I first bought it I was getting around 300-500 fps in csgo and a week later I'm only getting 100-300 , this is the same in other games and it's lowered for no reason I can think of , my computer specs
•i7-4790k 40x cache multipliers ( a few years old)
•supercloked gtx 1060gb ( a few weeks old )
•Alienware liquid cooling
•no ssd for now
•Alienware pre build and software
I also upgraded a 760ti OEM to the 1060 and there was a significant performance difference at first but then later lowered to the fps and performance I was getting from the 760
 
Solution
Looks like a conflicting driver problem. First thing to try is downloading Device Driver Uninstaller. Use that, then reinstall the latest graphics drivers.

Then, in the future, when you go to install new drivers, always select to do a clean installation.

Win10 is it? Both Csgo and Win10 have had updates applied that have lowered performance in Csgo for a lot of people - there are discussions about it and possible fixes if you do a search regarding win10 csgo low fps. A combination of Win10, Csgo and gpu drivers.

Xbox dvr feature in Win10 can also affect performance.

As said above a clean install is recommended but as you say the performance was fine before leads me to think it might have something to do with Win10 updates that eventually came about. Win10 can try to update your gpu drivers and may do a bad job at it.
