How much money could i make mining ethereum with my strix gtx 1060 6GB 0C GPU?

Never done mining before but as its in the tech news I wonder if its worth ir for me personally. My energy rate is very good, my 650w Dark power pro 11, i5 4690k oc'd to 4.2 on an MSI gaming 5 z97 mobo used around 4-6 hours per day for internet usage and gaming ( unlimited broadband uk ) Ive only clocked up £2.22 in 8 days of use according to my Energenie power read out plug.

Any thoughts and experience valued.

You probably spent more than 2.22 GBP in electricity in 8 days, not to mention wear cost on the PC

How much actual research have you done on this?
There are multiple calculators, where you can plug in your hardware, your kwh elec cost, and hours per day.
If the result is greater than 0, you're lucky.

Looks like people are reporting about ~18 MH/s with the GTX 1060 6GB. quilciri posted a link to a calculator a few days ago:

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=18&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=140&CostPerkWh=0.08

I went ahead and put .08 (USD) for the Cost per kWh, which is probably a best case scenario, and 140w for the card consumption, which leaves out system power. The calculator reports earnings of 9.1 cents per hour, or 2.18 (USD) per day assuming 24 hours a day. This assumes the price of ETH doesn't change, and that you're part of a mining consortium that pays you full price for hashes daily. If you're on your own, you won't produce a coin for at least 4 months of 24/7 runtime, by which time the prices will undoubtedly have changed.
