Alien Ware X51 R2 Upgrade to gtx 1060

I want to upgrade the graphics card in my alienware x51 r2 to a GeForce GTX 1060 SC.

Here are my specs:
Intel Core i5 4440 @ 3.1 GHz
8 GB Ram
Amd Radeon r9 200 graphics card
1TB Storage
330W PCU

I heard that the card fits fine into the small case, and also that 330W is enough. But I'm worried if the i5 processor won't be enough. Is there anything that would be stopping me from getting this card? Is the processor and Power Supply strong enough? Also my motherboard is the standard alien ware board in the x51 r2.

Also are there any other alternative options that would be a better choice? Thank you.

Good processor, will work fine with the card.

Be sure to get a card with a blower type cooler (aka reference cooler), it will do nicely there.

Do you know of any cards with blower coolers under $250. Around the same price as the gtx 1060?

I heard about some people having problems with the asus turbo, and they have to remove parts in the computer, do you think that would be a problem if I get it?

You need to check the clearance of your case to make sure.
