GTX 1060 6gb

[mysteriousgamer088]

Is the gigabyte gtx 1060 (6GB) worth buying? I’m looking to upgrade my gtx 750ti to the gtx 1060 (6GB).
My rig is :
Mobo: gigabyte h81m-s2pt
Ram: 1x8 GB
CPU: i5 4460
PSU: vs550 ( gonna change to a cx450m grey label
( let me know if I will face any problems with the switching)

That card will ask for double the wattage (120W) of the 750ti (60W), so bear that in mind. I have a feeling that your system is a bit low-spec for that card, although the card cetainly won't be a bottleneck. Perhaps consider the 1050ti?

Or, if really keen on the GPU, the 1060 3GB version will save you a bit of money.

I want a card that won’t need replacement 1-2 years down the line.

Well, given how long the 750Ti has been around I think you will be just fine with a 1060 6GB. Heck, people are still buying the GTX 560 (which performs very similar to a GT 1030) despite it being 7 years old. It will even still run games like Overwatch. Fortnite, and possibly PUBG on its lowest settings. I think the 1060 has a lot of life left to it.

Would it be ok with a i5 4460?

Absolutely. I wouldn't hesitate to pair a 1070 with a 4th gen i5.

Splendid, thank you very much, it means a lot to get help from people who actually know about pc (I’m new myself, it’s been 3 years)

Yeah will work well
