I have an old hp pavilion hpe computer with an i7 2600k in it and a gtx 460 se. All are fairly old but it gets the job done for gaming. I recently bought a gtx 1060 6gb OC from Asus and when I installed it with only one of the 6 pins and started the pc, it stayed at the startup menu then made 1 beep, significant pause, then 1 short, 1 long beep. I looked up the beep codes and it says ram but I reseated them and it still used the same code. I was wondering if you need a power supply with only one 6 pin
 
Solution
Any GPU up to the 700 series should definitely work; the 1060 should also work if the BIOS is the latest one. What PSU do you have? It includes the required 6-pin PCI-E cable? Is your system in UEFI or legacy mode?

As of right now, i have not been able to get any other graphics card above the 400 series so i am not sure.

this is my motherboard right now: http://www.game-debate.com/motherboard/index.php?mot_id=3671&motherboard=Pegatron%20HP%20Memphis-S

it said it had 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 so i was sure it would be compatible but maybe i was wrong.
