Hello,
I read extensive threads on the GTX 1060 cards on this wonderful forum, but I still have a few concerns since from what I see, everybody has a unique build so here is mine:
Asus sAM3+ M5A97 LE R2.0
AMD AM3+ FX-6300 - 3,50GHz BOX
SSD Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SATA-III 2.5 inch + a seagate barracuda 1tb 7200rpm
HyperX Fury Blue 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz CL10
Gigabyte PCI-E AMD R7 250 2GB which I want to replace with the GTX 1060
all the above in this case and power for which I can't find a straight up spec: RPC CPCS-ML050B2-AT01A 500W
My concerns are the following:
1)Will the processor bottleneck my graphics card?
2)Will the mother board which has pci express 2.0 and the GTX has 3.0 bottleneck or have compatibility issues?
3)Will I have issues with power? I can't find the actual performance on the power from my case...nor I am sure how much power I am using with the current build.
4)I don't have any extra fans, only the stock ones, should I get more considering the upgrade?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I found a really good price for the graphics card and want to buy it.
