Hi!
I have an Aspire T ATC-605-EB1G with Intel Core i5 4460 psu, 8GB DDR3 Memory, and currently has Intel HD dedicated graphics.

- I'm thinking of buying GTX 1060. Is this okay with my current PC? Should I get 3GB or 6GB?
- Should I worry about the cooling? Is there any other stuff I should worry about?
- If I get the GTX 1060, will I be able to run any game such as DOOM, GTA V, H1Z1, etc.?
- If you guys have any other suggestions which gpu should I get, please, I will appreciate it. I'm new to building PCs.

Thanks! :)

You will probably need a graphics card that requires no additional power. I don't think your stock power supply has a pcie power connector(unsure). If you want the GTX 1060 you'll probably need to upgrade your power supply. 3GB vs 6GB all depends on what resolution and game you are playing. At 1080P the 3GB should be fine for most games. You'll see a 5-10% difference in performance going to the 6GB. If you don't want to upgrade the power supply, there are mid level graphics cards that don't require additional power. (ex: GTX 750 Ti, GTX 950 low power, RX 460) Just make sure they don't require a pcie power connector. All the graphic cards mentioned should handle those games at various settings.

it has a 300w power supply


you are going to need to upgrade to a decent 500w or better power supply first



then you are going to need to measure the inside space for maximum gpu length
