[dgp1993]

I want to upgrade my graphics card gt 630(4GB) to a Aorus Geforce GTX 1060 6gb. Can I do it without upgrading any other parts? My Current Specs are as follows: Motherboard: B250M-D3H CPU: i5-7400 7th generation @ 3.00GHz 8gb DDR4 RAM IBAll MAJESTIC CABINET. Will I need to upgrade other components, can a suggestion be made to what I should upgrade too. Thank you for your assistance.

That's a mediocre PSU if I don't want to call it bad. I couldn't find full specs on the manufacturer's website and just a single picture that shows the fan grill and the AC input.

Most GTX 1060 cards require a supplementary 6-pin PCIE power connector from the PSU and the specific model you mentioned the Aorus Geforce GTX 1060 6gb according to the Gigabyte website actually needs an 8-pin one.

There is no mention of PCIE 6+2 or 6/8 pin power cable/connectors on the website and apart from that I think that is some 250-300W unit.

You have a 65W CPU and going to buy a 120W graphics card that almost 75% of the PSU's nominal output.

I would buy a new good brand/model PSU as this is one is of questionable quality and does not have the 8-pin power connector you require.

This is good unit:

Maybe a good 350W is enough too but with that PSU you can't run a GTX 1060 model that requires an 8-pin. Minimum PSU recommended by nvidia is 400W (which is an estimate).

No problem, glad to help.

I actually found an unboxing video of this PSU. If this is indeed your PSU it lacks any 6-8 pin PCIE power connectors:

Yes buy some 400-450W but not just any PSU. You it must have at least one 8-pin PCIE connector to support the graphics card you plan to buy.

Get a good model PSU from known and reliable brands because health and longevity of all components depends on it.
