Hello,
I've recently bought a Zotac GTX 1060 6GB mini however, I don't know if my power supply will be able to support it.
My current set up, if it helps, is (note - nothing is overclocked as of now):
- i7 6700k CPU
- 12G DDR4 RAM
- GTX 950M Graphics Card (I'm completely replacing it with the `Zotac GTX 1060 6GB mini`)
- HDD 2TB & SSD 150GB

Is my 300 rated watts and 360 peak watts power supply able to support the upgraded graphics card along with everything else?
All replies appreciated, thanks!

in an ideal world... your PSU would be sufficient. But, it's pretty down low on the requirement scale, and if it would work for you, it would have to be a pretty darn high quality PSU.

I would suggest replacing PSU with this GPU upgrade (although... GTX950m? that's a laptop GPU. 12GB ram? sounds like a laptop....)

There are plenty well priced PSU that would suffice, this would be a very nice one. although you could spend another 20$ or so for a Modular one

I know it's odd, my PC was built by ASUS and is a G11CD, no idea why they put a laptop GPU in there, it's the reason I'm upgrading it, I'll see if that power supply will fit my case. Thank you!
