I got a new PC from my uncle and I'm planning to upgrade it. Since the psu in the current system wont probably be enough, im hoping I could add a 650 watt power supply and a GTX 1060 to it. Would the parts I have in mind be compatible with the system I have?
I would like to replace the ram sticks and add an ssd along the way, do you guys think this would be possible?
I tried searching for the mobo, I think it's the acer XC-605 (I used the cmd command) but I can't seem to find specifications of that anywhere. :|

Parts I have in mind:
- Corsair 650x PSU (http://www.corsair.com/en/rmx-series-rm650x-650-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu)
- MSI GTX 1060 (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-GAMING-X-6G.html)

Current system:
Its an Acer Aspire TC-705 with:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB Hard drive
PSU: I think the PSU is 300W, will post a picture.

Thanks in advance guys!

Download Speccy and that lets you know what motherboard you have.

Hopefully if it has PCIe 2.0 x16 lanes then it should work with the 650. It's odd that you have an i7 Haswell with only 4GB of RAM. You may want to consider getting a 2x4GB RAM set, or may even a 2x8GB RAM set, just make sure it is DDR3
