1060 6GB on 300W PSU?

[Sniper123]

Hi been ages since I've posted here! But i know this is the place to asks my question

I bought a Forcebox small form factor system from OcUK like 4 or 5 years ago to use as an HTPC/Gaming system for the living room.

Specs are

I5 3470 I think
8GB Ram
2TB HDD
Geforce 750ti

I want to upgrade the GPU but realised I only have a 300W PSU the system came with, the 1060GTX recommends 400W :-/

I've been using the 750ti for years without issue, would a 1060GTX mini much hungrier?

Any suggestions on best card i can get within my PSU and small form case would be appreciated.

Done a quick psu calculator on your system and with a 1060 300w psu just falls short.

Droping gpu to a 1050ti will be fine but its way less power than a 1060 you can get a 450w psu for £40.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Kolink KL-SFX450 450W 80 Plus Bronze Efficient SFX Power Supply= £39.95

Thank you for the reply.

If i did upgrade the PSU to 450W, would i have enough spare to upgrade the ram to 16GB while having the 1060 GTX?

Thank you again
