So I did some research but I admit I'm not expert on building computers. But because my HP Envy 700 has a pretty mediocre card, the Nvidia 640 (which can't do ShadowPlay, and that means I can't record for video use :/ ), I am thinking of an upgrade to the Nvidia 1060
HP Envy Specs:
-Desktop PSU: 450 Watts
-Nvidia 640 PSU: 350 Watts
-Nvidia 640 Dimensions: 5.70 x 4.38 inches
Nvidia 1060:
-PSU: 400 Watts
-Dimensions: 9.823 x 4.378 inches
I'm wondering if my Desktop PSU can run the Nvidia 1060 (I heard I need to have 100+ more watts than the minimum?) and if the card would fit.
I saw an earlier thread with this pic
I guess it would fit?
And the GPU I'm looking to buy (because it's rather cheap since Thailand most GPUs are REALLY expensive!) is:

While I do wonder if the cheaper price means it runs worse than ASUS or MSI or whatever, I think it'll (hopefully) be enough to run games at mid-high for once
So yeah, desktop PSU good enough? Dimensions should fit? And this specific GPU card from this brand okay?
Thank you C:
