I want to upgrade my graphics card because its now hit the age of a dinosaur (GTX 1050!). I want to upgrade to a GTX 1060 6gb but i have no clue if i have the power to run it in my tower. I have a 550watts.
Somebody help, thanks =) my pc specs are:

AMD Athlon x4 860k 4.2 ghz (OC)
8gb Ram
Nvidia GTX 1050 2gb
MSI GRENADE Motherboard
550watts power supply
1tb

Your GPU is entry-level. Your CPU is a dinosaur. You need both a new CPU(w/ new motherboard and DDR4 RAM) as well as a new GPU if you want better performance. Your CPU will bottleneck any faster GPU.

I already have DDR4 RAM, im not looking for insane fps im only looking for at least over 65fps. so will a gtx 1060 6gb make a difference because my graphics card weighs down my entire computer.

An Athlon 860K is FM2+ socket that runs on DDR3 RAM. Your CPU will bottleneck a GTX 1060 6GB. You will have better performance than your GTX 1050, but you will still get fps drops to about where you are now.
