What are your full specs? Is the the Cybertron Borg-Q that comes with an AMD FX-4130 / 8 GB DDR3 RAM / 1 TB HDD? If so, then a GTX 1060 6 GB is the absolute highest graphics card that I would ever consider putting in that system, unless planning to do a platform upgrade (e.g. CPU / MB / RAM).

Crucial question: What is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply? My google searches suggest that it's some generic 450 watt power supply, which you would definitely want to upgrade.

SeaSonic S12II 520
$44.90 ($39.90 after $5.00 rebate) ($6.99 Shipping)
$51.90 after shpping charge

^ This for sure. If it is a FX 4130 that would no doubt be bottlenecking the 1060 in most games. I would consider grabbing something like an i5 7xxx and 16GB RAM if that fits in your budget. But grab a good Power Supply before anything else what rcald2000 mentioned should be great.

What is your power supply's manufacturer and model number? That is just as important as wattage alone. What is prompting you to upgrade your power supply? What are your current specs? What is your upgrade budget? What are two or three games that you play, and at which resolution?
