Opinions / Advice for my system

[SlimTimDoWork]

Hello!

I currently have this:

CyberPowerPC Case
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2PT Mobo
Turbolink ATX-XG500w PSU
AMD FX-4300 @ 3.8ghz CPU
Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire Low-Profile 1gb gddr5 GPU
8GB DDR3 Ram
1tb Toshiba HDD

I am planning to buy this:

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 03G-P4-6162-KR, 3GB GDDR5

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)

CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply

Kingston SSDNow UV400 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC SSD Combo Bundle

Im wondering if the PSU will fit in my sytem, whether it will be good enough and if there may be any compatibility issues that I am missing. I know my CPU isnt the best, but its the best one that my MOBO can handle and I cannot afford to upgrade the MOBO and CPU at the moment. I will be gaming on this system and just would like some opinions / advice. Thanks so much.

your cpu is not good enough to keep up with a 1060, if you had a decent motherboard you could have gotten a 8320 and overclocked to somewhat make it balanced with a rx 470


pointless for you to jump up to 16gb of ram as well


there are much better power supplies for the money, that model is only ok if it is the grey newer CX model

If you want a gtx 1060 it is time for a complete rebuild

Well as I stated, I dont have the budget for a whole new build, so working with what I have, what would be the best options for playing games like Battlefield 1 and games like that at high settings? I know the fx-4300 isnt the best cpu, but I do know that it will run most games, as most games rely on the GPU.

sadly bf1 is such a game, eats cpu's alive


best gpu your current setup can handle is a gtx 1050 ti


expect a stuttery mess online, probably medium settings for decent fps

That sucks, I see so many youtube videos of people with the fx-4300 and the 1060 paired benchmarking much higher than that. I didnt find much info about bottlenecking in my info search before I posted.
