Your power supply will need 2 4pins or 1 6pin
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That would depend on your PSU; I currently put this exact card into my i7 3770k w/ 16GB ram and it worked just fine. I am running a 850 WATT PSU and this was able to run everything just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Would have helped if you told us what power supply you had. But to answer your question, the power requirements for the GTX 1060 3gb edition is relatively low. The most important thing to look for is the amp rating for the +12v rail, not just the wattage of the power supply. If you go to Geforce.com's website it should list all the minimum and recommended requirements for power usage on their cards. There are also "power calculators" online that will help you with things like that. But, the GTX 1060 3gb and 6gb editions do not have high requirements, just go to your power supply manufacturers website and check the specs of your power supply, you'll probably find out it meets the requirements just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This card is underpowered for your team and processor. I would suggest a gtx 1080. Then if you ever want to run a 4k monitor or tv you are more then ready.
