Solution

an average power supply should be around 450 - 550 w so I guess you for safe sake go for 1060

you could go to about as high as GTX1070, after that you've got a big bottleneck on the CPU.

what's your budget?

the 1070 will work great for you, with some slight bottlenecks on some games. you could go for gtx1060 as well

you would have to open the side panel and have a look at the writing on your PSU. look for wattage and brand/model.

if you run a gtx 660, then i can only assume you can run the gtx1060 without any problems
