Solution Math Geek Dec 23, 2016 no problem. the 1060 is rather low powered so you should be fine. note you only have a single 6-pin power connection so you can only use some of the cards. a lot of them use an 8-pin or even more. here is a list of models with their power needs so you can chose one that your psu can power. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902600
