Hi, I am not good with technology but I need a new Graphics card for around 150/250 Euro

These are my current pc specs, I would greatly appreciate some advice on what the best graphic card would be without having to change anything else

Check the PSU for a 6pin PCIe plug.

If it doesn't have it, then you'd be looking at a RX460 version without the 6pin or GTX950 low power.

If your PC is a custom built, the replacing the PSU shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it's a big box manufacturer prebuilt system however...

And for an non K i5 with a GTX1060 you'd be looking at ~250W under load. A good 450W PSU is enough.

My power supply is 350 W... Would that be too low for cards like GTX 1060 or RX470? Also I think I have only 1 slot but most cards seem to require 2

You would be pushing it on power, does it even have a 6pin connector required for the 470? If not it wont work. Personally I would not be comfortable powering a 1060 or 470 on a 350watt psu especially if its not the greatest, quality wise.

I think it's time for a new power supply anyway. Would a 600w one be enough?
And is it risky to change the supply or can it screw up the pc if done wrong?

If it's a "good" 350 psu then you should be fine with a 1060. They're quite efficient. A quick use of Cooler Master's PSU calculator shows your rig to consume 315watts with a 1060. I wouldn't do any over clocking if I were you.

I can order a Cooler Master G550M (550W) It's only 85 Eur since I'm on a budget. Would this one be good enough so there won't be any problems? Sorry for noobish questions I'm just a moron when it comes to computer parts
