Measure your current card and look at the size of the card that you want. Then compare sizes, if the 1060 is larger then measure the space inside the case. Most ATX mid towers, if that's what you have, will be able to fit most cards without issues.

If its a metal drive caddy blocking the end of the GPU you can sometimes fix that. Gordon freeman style with a crowbar or hammer. I've done it a few times.

Prying and wiggling enough usually gets pesky rivets out. Its not fast or pretty, but if you have more time than money like me...

If you get a big adjustable wrench from the garage, you can use it kinda like a vice to manipulate the thin sheet steel. Try that if you run into a roadblock. If its particularly stubborn and wont de-attach, just smash it flat and shove it forward. And leave it there in the front of the case. I did that once and it worked fine.
