graphics card How much power

[TorubledC]

Currently I have a 450w running a FX 8320, I want to get a GTX 1060 and was wondering if thats enough power to run the card?

yea you'll probably be fine.

which model psu do you have?

Dont worry 450 is fine. Also what gpu do you have now and what psu.  and also would like to add that you should probably add if you are buying a new gpu you should get a rx580 8g when the mining craze comes down then it will cost just as much if not less as a 1060 6g. But if you are planning on getting a 1060 id reccomend a 6g variant because the 3g is just simply not worth it for 20 less dollar. It has less cuda cores as well.

Also would like to say the reason i asked for what gpu you have is because it might be worth to get a ryzen upgrade with a 50 dollar b350 motherboard and the ryzen 1200. The reason i asked for your psu is because if its off brand then it might be worth it to get something thats 20-40 dollars and safer. People had their mobo and cpu get destroyed by faulty 8 year old psus when they put in new parts into an old system.

i dont know a lot about that particular psu, so i dont know if its safe

check out the psu tier list for suggestions on maybe a better one (not required, but worth considering)

They arent the greatest psus because looking at reveiws they are pretty reliable.
