So i've been thinking about getting a GTX 1060 6GB and just need to know whether my parts will bottleneck the 1060 and if my PSU will supply enough power and safely.

Specs:

- Asus GTX 960 4GB

-8GB RAM

- Intel i-5 6600 3.30 GHz

-Corsair VS550 PSU

Also, if anyone knows a good place I can sell my 960 and how much it would go for? (AUD)

No.

 

And probably not too much, probably around 200?

No bottleneck, PSU should be fine.

No man i would not bottleneck it at all, but if you want to game at 1440p i would suggest a 16Gb Ram (The same ones), along with a SSD, if you dont already have one.

But i wouldnt personally go from 960 to 1060, i mean its one hell of an upgrade but not that much in my opinion, think about it and i hope i helped.

y the ssd for 1440p? storige does not improve performance at all! only loading times. and he does not mention 1440p at all at any moment so i take it he just plays 1080p and so a 1060 will be perfact
