Question Will a rtx 2060 graphics card work on my dell vostro 430

[Deltafox1023]

I want to know of it's compatible or just usable with this computer

No. The power supply is not sufficient.

The power supply does look standard however, judging by the coloring of the wires from the service manual matching up with the coloring on 24-pin pinout

The power supply was already changed to a 600w power supply but does it need a compatible motherboard for the graphics card to work

What is the exact power supply? The question cannot be answered without this information.

 

[Deltafox1023]

It's a energy Optimus mach III 600K 83+ 600w power supply

Brand-in-a-box desktops are not made to be upgraded. Your PSU won't be able to handle a card like that.

if an rtx graphics card wont work then would a gtx 1660 or something work?

Why are you downgrading your card choice based on your current power supply?

What is your end goal specifically and exactly?

It's a fake 600W, junk PSU. I wouldn't feel safe running a sandwich with it.

What 600w would you suggest?

Ok I'm back with a question, will an rtx
fit in the case even if I change the motherboard?

You would have to get measurements; there's no standard case or GPU size. You would need to get a tape measure, open up your PC, and measure the clearance in the area the GPU would go.

As for PSU -- sorry I missed the follow-up -- it would depend on the GPU you want to go with, your other hardware, your country, and your budget. But don't just buy a GPU and then choose a PSU; people sometimes spend all their money on a GPU and then don't have the money for the proper PSU.

The only good news about that frightening PSU you currently have in the system is that at least you know your motherboard can take a standard ATX PSU rather than requiring a proprietary Dell PSU, which can really complicate issues (and sometimes results in needing a new motherboard and case).
