Can I Upgrade to a MSI GeForce GTX 1060?

joe530 · Oct 22, 2016

I bought a prebuilt pc but now I need to upgrade my graphics card. So I found this card:

Will my PC support it if not what should I change?
Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-6300
Motherboard Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.
Motherboard Model: GA-78LMT-USB3
Chipset: AMD 780G
Memory: DDR3 8GB Ram Dual Channel
Current Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Edit: Also I heard that somethings might be compatible but might bottleneck the card. Is this true?

You shouldn't need to change anything as long as your case has at least 11 inches for GPU clearance and you have a decent 450 watt or larger PSU. An FX 6300 isn't ideal for gaming, but will certainly work with that GPU.

What processor should I get instead?

An Intel i5 or i7 are better for gaming, but there's no need to change that as long as you can still do everything you want with your current processor. In CPU intensive games, the FX will be down a little in FPS, but shouldn't hurt your gaming experience.
