GTX 1060 Compatible question

[tangerinemiddle890]

Hi I'm buying a EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, is it compatible with my Gateway dx4380 motherboard?

It should be fine using that late of a model PC. What kind of PSU did they put in that machine?

300 watts but I'm going to replace it with a EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3

Most should fit fine. But long cards may be an issue if you have a drive cage or something else sitting in the path of the card. Best thing to do is open the case and measure from the expansion slot cover, along the slot, to the first obstruction the card would hit. Then check that against the length of the card you select. They come in different lengths. Many 1060s are super short and can fit in any case.

For $400 I recommend the following to make sure you have no issues when upgrading to your new graphics card.
