Will my PC handle 1060 Gaming X 6G

[kimroar90]

Hello, I'm wondering about the pin cables, if the 8pin that comes with 1060 x 6GB fits and is working on my PSU?

PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro M700
Motherboard: Asus P9X79

If you need any more details, please let me know.

PSU has enough power. Motherboard has appropriate PCIe slot. So, yes it can handle it.

The GPU fits in to the mothebroard's PCI-Express slot. Then you will need to connect your power supply's 8-pin PCI-Express power cable.
