Hello. I have HP Pavilion 500-202ec with A10 5700, 8GB RAM, R7 240 and 300W PSU (I don't know the exact model). I want to upgrade GPU to Palit GTX 1060 3GB (yeah, i know there will be bottleneck). Recommended PSU is 400W, but I have only 300W and I am cheap, so I don't want to upgrade it (at least for now). So my question is: Is 300W PSU enough for my CPU and GPU?
Thanks :)

Short answer, NO!

Longer answer: The 1060 will require a 6 or 8 pin pci-ex connector which most 300W power supplies in pre-built computers do not have. So right there it's out of the question. They do make 1050 Ti models that don't require a pci-ex connector, that would be the fastest videocard your power supply could power. Make sure there's space inside the case for the card you pick.
