Provide more details of your PC specs. Which Motherboard and PSU Model do you have ? I know it's 460W unit, but we need to know the make/brand of this PSU. What's your budget though ? Also, your current core i3 INTEL CPU might hold back powerful and high-end GPUs.

How much are you willing to pay for the new card ? Will you also upgrade your Monitor as well ? I assume you are on 1080p ?

the mother board is intel z370 express chipset, but i couldn't find the model for the power source, although i saw something about an ATX power source. i dont really have price range for the gpu's. i just want to know which are compatable for now.

As long as it's a good quality PSU then it should be fine with the RTX 2060. If not then you'll want to replace it before considering a better GPU.

dell is a prebuild.
go to dell and get the spec

Thanks for the advice, I know that dell makes quality things as far as PSU, so i look into it, tanks for the help

Just making sure, my PSU should be able to handle it right.

Wattage wise, it should be enough but you'll also need the correct connections to the GPU without needing adapters.

Im kinda new to the PC thing, so how would i tell if I would need adapters or not

Does your PSU have 6+2 pin VGA cables?
