Can an MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB be put in my pre-built ASUS M32AD Desktop?

[Olrac_86]

Hello! I am interested on upgrading my GPU on my Pre-built ASUS M32AD Desktop. Currently, it has:

- i7 4970 CPU
- Nvidia GTX 960 2GB
- Motherboard: ASUS H81M-E
- 16GB RAM
- 500GB SSD
- 500W PSU Delta DPS-500AB-6A.

I am assuming I need to Upgrade my PSU. Although, I've checked the PSU requirement of MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB requires 400W. Do I need to change the PSU or can I just wing it? I also checked if the motherboard is compatible with the GPU and According to my researched it can be done.

Now my BIGGEST concern is the GPU size, I am hesitating because of the size of this GPU it go by 10.91x 5.51 (LxH). I wanted to know if this GPU would fit inside my ASUS M32AD Mid-range Tower 6.9 x 16 x 15 inch (WxHxD).

Thank you in Advance for the time and help.

What PSU is that? Asus should have used a decent PSU for selling those, post some pictures of it here. Or some links at least.

1. while technically the PSU is enough, i'd put a better quality unit, no hurry - when you have the budget.
2. While the MSI Gaming X will fit the case, due to poor airflow in this asus computer I'd strongly recommend a model with blower style cooler like this one ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 TURBO-GTX1060-6G 6GB
