Hello, i am planing on buying a 1060 for my computer as i am running a very old Quadro FX 1800, i have a question for the graphics card and how to supply power to it. So my Question is if i can take any 6pin connector from my psu and plug it into my GPU or does it have to be a 6pin pciE connector exactly? thanks

If it looks like it will fit (with all the correct cutouts and shapes and stuff) then it will work. otherwise, it wont. it's that simple

Should upgrade your CPU before buying a GPU man, also why a 1060 exactly?

In addition if that's your whole budget for upgrades for a while, wait for AM4 based APU systems to come out, then you'' get a CPU and GPU upgrade for your money

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Lol. RX 480 is best bang for buck.
