So I've been having a big issue that is explained in another thread I'll link to below. (It's not required to be read).
The meat of it is, my rig isn't old but it certainly isn't new. (in computer terms it's ancient but be realistic..)
I want a new GPU and was thinking about the 1060 3gb because even though it's heavy on the budget, it's pretty future-safe in my opinion.
I don't want any conflicts with my rig however as I can't afford to buy more than just the GPU at the moment. Also I currently have a GTX 560 TI and I am not sure about sizes.
The 560TI barely (and I do mean, barely) fits in my case as it is, the 1060 is probably even bigger which means it won't fit, so I'll need a new case too. So if that is the case (ha-ha!) please give me a recommendation for a case as well.
My components for information:
GTX 560 TI
8GB ram
2HDD + 1SSD (os, w7u)
Intel core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz
Be Quiet 500w

The thing is, the problem is still there, I replaced the PSU and put new cooling paste on and everything, all my temps are great.
ps: the problem from that link and the reason why I need a new GPU is that my screens (both, so it isn't the monitors problem) keep going black when on heavy load. Hence I was thinking temp but that didn't turn out to be so. I'm left with the only logical conclusion of; my GPU is semi-broken.
