Hello im looking to upgrade my Graphics card I have already chosen a Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O6G Carte graphique Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, 1809 MHz OC, 6GB GDDR5X 192 bit im just worried it wont work with my motherboard and setup. im not sure what information I would need to give to see if it will work I have a GA-Z97-HD3 motherboard and a CX 600 Power supply.. I see most graphics cards have power sockets on them but my current graphics card has all the plugs on the back?? need some help please.
 
Your motherboard is fine for the GTX 1060.

As for the power, you need a 6 pin connector from the power supply, they look like this

You can use either type of connector, the one with 2 extra wires can be used as an 8 pin as well but it's just fine as a 6 pin connector.
