i have been willing to buy a gtx 1060 because my 960 keeps on overheating and 1060 is on sale right now so i was thinking maybe i should get a gtx 1060 so i can run all my games without any lag (constant 60 fps) with ultra/highest graphics but my brother keeps saying my motherboard and processor is too old to be able to handle a gtx 1060 so it will clock down to the power of a 970 so i have been losing thought about a 1060 and just going for a 970 but then a friend of mine suggested looking up on the internet because im stoopid so i googled if my processor is compatible and will not bottleneck a 1060 but it only gives me non K and my brother says if i want to get a 1060 i would need to get a new motherboard, processor and ramso thats why im asking you this question if any of my components will work without problems and without getting bottlenecked.
