Is my motherboard compatable to this graphics card?

[Ricky770]

Hi all, wanted to ask a quick question about my motherboard

My main board is an Acer T3-710 and i was wondering if my motherboard is compatible to a gtx 1060 and my current graphics card i have is a Nividia Geforce GT 730

Graphics Card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Nvidia-1060-GDDR5-PCI-E/dp/B01KHWOASI/ref=sr_1_8?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1481833672&sr=1-8&keywords=gtx+1060+3gb

If this graphics card is not compatible then could i get some recommendations of what graphics card i could get preferably a similar power than the 1060

Thanks

The motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot. Any graphics card is compatible with this.
You need to measure the space inside the case and check the dimensions of the card you want to buy to ensure it will fit. Any decent graphics card is likely larger than the GT 730 that you have now.

The other important thing to check is the power supply. The GTX 1060 requires a PCI-E power connector from the power supply, and a minimum 24A rating on the +12V rail with your other components.
While a 300W power supply could technically do this if it had the right design and quality, the supply that came with this PC will not.
If you want to replace the power supply, you will have to measure the space for this too. Look at a decent 400W supply or greater. One suggestion would be the Seasonic S12II-430. Alternatively, tier 3 or higher from this list:

With your current supply, you can probably handle a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Choose a model without a PCI-E power connector. Nvidia doesn't require one on this GPU, but some of the card manufacturers have overclocked their cards and require additional power.
