it says it has a 500w power supply, but make sure it has a 6-pin pcie cable the 1060 will require it

open the case and measure the space

this will give you max length of the gpu that can fit, that card is 22 cm long so you need at least that much space



be aware that the a8 is going to be too slow to keep up with the card, and you will get bottlenecking which will cap your fps

max gpu you should run with that system is a gtx 1050 ti

So i shall buy a gtx1050ti? I don't mind since it is cheaper.

Yes but few games the 3GB holds back the card to about 1050ti performance. To make matters worse your CPU will bottleneck the 1060. I suggest getting a 1050ti instead.

yes, because of the cpu you have the performance would be very similar but at a much cheaper price

get the gtx 1050 ti 4gb

make sure your power supply has a 6-pin pcie cable, if it does not have one then you MUST get a version of the 1050 ti that runs only on the power from the pcie slot

open the case and look at the cables coming from the power supply


if you have one of these then you are set
