So I want to upgrade my current 750 TI to a 1060, but i'm not sure if my power supply needs upgrading.

Specs:
Processor: i5-6600 3.3 GHz
GPU: Currently have 750 TI, want EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3GB
Motherboard: H170M-PLUS (LGA1151)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
SSD: 223GB SSD
Hardrive: 465GB HDD
Power Supply: Corsair CX430

Thanks! If you need more info let me know.

The Gtx 1060 requires a 400w power supply. Your CX 430 is more than enough to supply this card! I recommend not overclocking it too much as the power requirements are a bit close, but you could definitely get a small overclock in if you wanted to.

Btw if I may add.. I would get the 6gb 1060 if I were you. Even if it means saving up a bit more. 3gb of vram isn't nearly enough now unless you only plan on playing games such as Overwatch.
