I am planning to buy a new system with the following spec;

2mrt8o1.png


In addition my plan for Graphics Card is ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD PASCAL SERIES - GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP EDITION.

My new system budget is high based on current cash. So I am thinking to start with the specified graphics card in my existing system. But My existing system is low end and poor spec so need advise on this like any compatibility issues.

Existing System Spec:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66 Ghz Processor
Asus P5k-VM Motherboard
Transcend 2 GB DDR2 RAM
Seagate 500GB Barracuda Internal Hard Disk
Foxin 500 Watts SMPS
Zebronics Cabinet

Based on tihis spec, please suggest me Can i wait for new build and then go for graphic card or
Can i start now with new Graphics Card in this old spec and upgrade the system later?

Start with this and add a GPU when you can afford one. No use in putting a GPU in that old system. Also, don't even thigk about runnign your new build on that crap PSU. I've included a HDD because, if your current HDD is as old as the PC, it's days are probably numbered.
And stay away from SSDH as they are useless. What you want is a separate SSD and HDD.

Please suggest if any other one better than this.

For hybrid i asked other forum question and got like good review. So i thought to avoid SSD for separate amount.

EDIT: Yeah, you read that right, disregard your former thread where they told you what you wanted to hear. SSD + HDD is the way to go. If you can only afford an SSHD, get an HDD and add an SSD later.

Thats nice. But price is same or little bit higher (Rs.500) than Asus Z170-K as per amazon India. Any advantage or better than Asus 170-K

Sorry for down vote. My mistake only happened. I used mobile and not have any reply and other options showing in mobile.

That particular CXM is not tier 4 and better quality, but, outside it being modular, i would see no reason to spend more than this: http://www.amazon.in/Seasonic-S12II-520-Watt-Power-Supply/dp/B005O8PNSM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476236933&sr=8-1&keywords=s12ii
