[SOLVED] Do i need a psu upgrade?

[Imaheadout]

Hello! I have a optiplex 980 mt and i'm gonna upgrade my i5 650 to a i7 870 and put a gtx 1060 in it. Total power draw is around 215 watts and i have a 255/300 watt. Do i need a psu upgrade?

I would bet your power supply does not have any PCIe power connectors so it cannot power a 1060.

You need to upgrade the PSU, ideally to a 400w or more unit.

I think gtx 1060 doesn't need a cable, it gets all the power from the pcie slot

The GTX1060 needs a PCIe 6 pin connector (some models need an 8 pin) and a 400w psu minimum

Is EVGA 100-W1-0600-K2 EVGA Power Supply 600W, 80 PLUS, EU good? It's 40 euros on my country

I wouldn't call it good, but it should do the job alright if there is no other option. What country are you in?

This would be a better choice for a similar price.

I don't see anything better for the price.
