Is this graphic card appropriate for my PC?

[Noel_15]

Hi all! I'm currently looking at a "ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DUAL OC" for my PC. I've been told this can run Oculus on bare min graphics but I'm not tech savvy and can't work out if its compatible with my PC.

Motherboard: Asus B85M-G
Current GPU: AMD Radeon r9 200
CPU: Intel(R) Core i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50hz (4 cores)
Memory: 8GB
Tower: ATX MID TOWER PC CASE (Z3 PLUS) ((i think, this is the one I found on the site that looks exactly like mine))

Power supply: I honestly don't know. I looked inside but couldn't find any label, and I'm not sure how to safely dismantle it. I can find out later if this has a big impact on the gpu.

Any help or guidance is appreciated! I'm really having trouble understanding the way websites explain things

First we start with some information useful to you.
If you want to know more about the components you are running, there are many ways to do that. You can simply type "msinfo32" on start menu and press Enter. Or you can download a software like Speccy which can give you more details. But none of them can access your PSU information as the PSU is usually not connected directly to your sysinternals.
The reason I mentioned the above is because your current GPU is mentioned as R9 200 which has a lot of variants... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Rx_200_series
Now depending on the particular card you will have varying degree of performance gain with the 1060... http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-AMD-R9-295X2-CrossFire-Disabled/3639vsm11791
The 1060 is perfectly compatible with your current setup...https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q7lIYRK5T0ABLvAkgbM_2jJGvbhlep27mR-eRcCy4FA/edit#gid=0
And VR Ready, so it can definitely run the Oculus... https://newatlas.com/nvidia-gtx-1060-vr-ready/44233/

TLDR, you can just go for it.
