Buying a Radeon GTX 1060 3GB, need to know if it will fit into my computer

[Akash_37]

My motherboard is this - m5a78l-m/usb3, my desktop case is https://www.amazon.co.uk/PILEDRIVER-Gaming-Piledriver-Graphics-Operating/dp/B00CMR5L80/ref=sr_1_4?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1489100921&sr=8-4&keywords=syclone+pc
Also, my PSU is 450W - corsair vs450, would i need to upgrade it to work with this new GPU?
Also should I be looking at whether to get 1/2 fans, or ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI etc, would this greatly affect the size/performance?

It will run fine
Remove the 6670 and install the 1060
1060 recommended power supply is 400 watts so ur fine
It will also fit in nice

Go for the asus rog strix oc editon pf gtx 1060

it should fit, but will not run well with that weak cpu

really should put in a gtx 1050 ti MAX


to make sure open the case and measure the space for max gpu length

Ok thanks a lot, good to know. The rog strix looks good but I can only find it in 6gb. Is there a 3gb version, or would ii have to get a different one?

There's no 3gb 1060 in Asus Strix series. The 3gb variant is available in the Asus DUAL series.

So if I want the 3gb version, is DUAL the best option? Sorry, I don't really understand the real differences in all of them/which would be better

There are different versions from different manufacturers.
I can't really tell which one is "better" as there are no big differences. After all, it's the same GTX 1060 3GB. Slight tweaks and improvements from different manufacturers result in these different variants. Overall, in-game performance will show only little difference, especially on PCs not so high-end.
You'll have to see the reviews for each one and then decide for yourself, also taking into account your budget. Then see which one suits you.

If you still get confused, just get the Asus DUAL one. It's good.
If you want a cheaper variant, try the EVGA one.
