Hello there!
Im planning to upgrade my GPU (https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/415430/asus-r7260x-oc-2gd5/specificaties/)
To a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-GAMING-X-Plus-6G.html#hero-overview)

And my question here is if my current card has the same powerslot (the thing comming from ur POSU to ur GPU)
Because i cant get alot information about my current card and dont really want to mess with my card atm

Since i saw the GTX has 2 Squares with slots (or something like that)
(im a newbie ^^)
im not sure if i have the cables atm to be able to plug that in ^^

Thanks for looking to my post
& helping ^^

The MSI card uses a single 8-pin PCI-E power socket. If your power supply only has a 6-pin there are adapters. If this doesn't work some of the 1060 models have 6-pin.

 
That GPU only requires a 8-pin connector. So you will use the 6-pin + 2 option you have, as shown here:
