I've been GPU mining with just my Nvidia 1060 GTX. I've been exploratory mining on smaller coins. Made a good profit on Siacoin for instance.
NiceHash is by far the easiest way to get going. They run the benchmarks and decide what the most profitable coins for your machine will be. However, my recommendation is to always do it all yourself, and don't trust what you just read. The average hash rate for each card is going to be different, and can even change between algos. So what is true for someone else might not be true for you. Which version of the mining software, and the miner's configuration matter as well. There are algos out there that are profitable but aren't shown on calculators like the front page of whattomine, and aren't in nicehash. So set up a bunch of different coins that you are interested in, benchmark them all, and then do your calculations.
