Product: HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am into light gaming and my desktop has a good cpu and all but I am looking to upgrade my graphics card. I am looking at the 1060 or maybe something cheaper and I was wondering whether I need to upgrade my power supply aswell. 

Thanks for the help

HP ProDesk 600 G1 Small Form Factor (SFF)

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/home?sp4ts.oid=5387447&ac.admitted=14885505849...

 

The ProDesk 600 was designed for the business, office maketplace.

IMHO, I do not consider Small Form Factor (SFF) or "purpose built" business computers

good candidates for "Gaming Updates".

WHY?  Limitations in supporting additional Wattage for Graphics cards (Propritary power supplies, Thermal limitations/Cooling within case design).

 

Consumer Desktop Computing is splitting into 2 camps:

Gaming Enthusiasts (expansion/graphics cards/customization) and

Business/Office (becoming more like tablets/laptops - purpose built).
