I have a ga 78lmt usb3 MoBo with Rx 460 4gb(pc works great with this gpu- too).If I buy a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6gb ,will it fit and and work? CPU -fx 6300.will fx 6300 bottleneck the nvidia gpu?
 
Solution
The 1060 6gb is one of the best gpu's for price to performance. Your 6300 will bottleneck the GPU a bit, it's unavoidable. As sizzling said it is an old CPU. But, there are plenty of settings in games that can be tweaked or disabled to give a better experience without sacrificing graphics and FPS too much. I had my FX 6300 for years and had it paired with a 1060 6gb from launch, and was very happy with it. As long as your not expecting to max everything out and still get massive frames, you should be happy. Plus, the 1060 will carry over if you ever upgrade your CPU.
It will work but what psu do you have?

It will however bottleneck in most modern games. The FX6300 is old and weak by modern standards, it is below the minimum recommended for most if not all modern AAA games. The 1060 6gb on the other hand is a great gpu for running games at or near max settings at 1080p 60fps.
