Wait and save some more money.
A new board and CPU will be hurt by 1060. A 30 series GPU will be hurt by i3.
You could look at B550 with 5700x and 32GB for a lot more speed in everything, gaming could be smoother with 5700x but necassarily high framerate.
1060 is still incredibly solid. You'll be running more graphically intensive games on low but it won't hold you back as much as that cpu. I upgraded from an 8500 to a 12600 and was blown away by the difference. OP, get a new mobo and cpu. Even the budget current gen cpus will outclass nearly anything 8th/9th gen, especially in terms of power for cost (cpu prices never seem to drop much) . The 1060 will hold up for most games.
That's why I said B550, 5700x, and 32GB to run the 1060 at max capacity that the current 4 cores can't do.
