Why didn't anyone save you...

Not sure how much load you really want to put onto it, you could always undervolt/power limit your GPU to like 100W, and it won't be too bad with tweaking.

 

Most likely get an RX 570/580 if you're in the US. Also gives you free-sync savings.

 

the 6GB 1060 is the minimum 1060 to buy.

It does matter, not that it couldn't hold up, it just has no overdraw protection. Get a proper psu, please

it matters a lot. AND you bought one of the worst PSUs from a name brand. Get something tier 3 or higher, then consider graphics card

with that post count, I'm not surprised...

First, get a better PSU. The N1 is meant for very basic and inexpensive builds.

For a cheap one, get a CX (2017) or CXM (2015) PSU. For a more expensive but better quality one, get an RMx (any version). A EVGA G2 or G3 will do well for a high quality one, too.

 

I'd suggest a 550W PSU, so something like a CX550M (2015) or an RM550x (2018) would be pretty great options.

 

After that, the RX 580 is the best GPU you can get, but get a RX 570 if your CPU has a bottleneck with a 580 or a 1060 3GB if you need NVIDIA.
