[SOLVED] Will my current PSU support an upgrade to Zotac Nvidia GTX 1060 AMP edition 6G

[ksh.sharma]

Hi guys,
I have a 400 W PSU powering my system: http://www.sparklepower.com/pdf/PC/FSP400-60GHC.pdf
My current system config is:

• Intel Pentium G4560,
• 8GB 2133MHz DDR4,
• Zotac Nvidia GTX 1050Ti OC edition
• 1 SSD, 1 HDD, 1 DVD Drive
• 2 Fans

I want to upgrade to a Zotac GTX 1060 Amp Edition 6G, but the problem is that the PSU does not have a 6 pin power connector. Would it be okay if I used a Dual SATA to 6 pin connector to power the GPU ? Should I upgrade my PSU ?

Thanks a lot for your time

Get a better PSU. Your current unit is not good.
Note: Sata and or molex to pci-e adapters are always a bad idea.

Thanks, what PSU would you recommend ?

At a minimum the Corsair CX450. the 550 if you want some headroom for future upgrades. But it depends on your budget and country.
