Nvidia gt 610 (i know its complete garbage but upgrading to the gtx 1060 in 2 days)

600w psu

Some acer mobo thing...

robbed, should have been closer to 200-250 if the psu is a decent brand and the HDD's are seagate or western digital, also show us a picture of the psu because a bad psu before you upgrade to an 1060

used that psu a good amount in budget build and it is a bit loud for my own taste but it is a more than good enough for what you need

I also posted the mobo specs. Will it handle the 1060?

yea it is only has a  second gen pcie X16 slot for the gpu but that is still no bottleneck for any consumer to date so unless i overlook somthing you should be fine.

also your cpu should be fine but it could handle a I7 3770 if you ever want to upgrade that and you can find one
