Hey all!
As the title says. Im more worried about the PSU, but ill write down my whole system:

PSU: CORSAIR Cx500 Plus Bronze
MOBO: ASUS m5a78l-m lx/br
RAM: GSkill 8GB DDR3 1866 x2 (Sniper Series)
CPU: FX 6300
CPU COOLER: Coolermaster Hyper TX3 EVO (Also, could I upgrade it to Hyper T4?)
HD: 7.2K RPM SATA III and 7.2K RPM Sata II
Chassis Fan 120mm x 2
Chassis Fan 80mm
VGA: MSI R7 360
Gaming Mouse: Logitech G600
Standard Microsoft Keyboard
Monitor: LG 25UM58

So the question is?
Would that PSU and MOBO handle a Zotac GTX MINI 1060 instead of this MSI R7 360?
Also, could I still upgrade the CPU Cooler from Hyper TX3 to Hyper t4?

Plus, what should I expect from the mini version? I hv no room on my case for the standard one. I dont want to OC this system.

I think your power supply can handle the 1060 fine, as long as it has the connector required by the card. I think you will see massive improvement in game performance in a lot of games.

It's true that your CPU is not a fast one, as far as gaming CPUs go, but it's likely you'll get the 1080p performance you want. It just won't be as high as it might be with a faster CPU. If you get 60fps in a game, does it matter that the card could get 75fps in that same game with a faster CPU? Not if all you need is 60fps.

From my current VGA to 1060 is only 20 Watts power consumption difference. I just wanna know if my PSU can handle a 1060 without a need to upgrade PSU. I'm not rly into the 1050. Its just 2GB memory more than my r7360. 1060 would be 4 more GB.
So u think its not worth it, or u think it cant handle?
