Upgrading my G3-710 with a gtx 1060 and I'm wondering if that would work

[captainredeagle]

I have a predator G3-710 and I'm wondering if I could put a strix gtx 1060 in it safely and if i would need any extra cables
The only thing extra I have added to my computer is a extra 1tb seagate HDD

The one I have isn't easy to find specs on but it currently has a r9 360 for a graphics card and a i5-6700 for a cpu

If that card won't work could you recommend another card

it already has an gtx 1060 in it, if you want better performance overclock it with msi afterburner

Could you give us what psu is in there since there are a lot of different models.

As a reply to jaslion I wasn't able to find the model of psu at the moment all I know is that it's rated at 500w because I am currently away from my computers on holidays I should be able to check what kind of cables it has on Monday

I looked online and found the power supply its a ps-7501-5 and from what I was able to find it has a 24 Pin, 4 Pin 12V, 6+6 Pin


Here's a link to where there selling one they have more specifics and pictures: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEVER-USED-LITEON-Power-Supply-500W-PS-7501-5-/391815276492

Yeah don't even try with that one. I recommend you upgrade your psu to something like a seasonic s12 II 520w. That is a quality inexpensive unit and will be able to drive the 1060.
