I am not too great with hardware myself so i decided to come to the forums. I am planning to upgrade my gtx 760 to a better graphics card because its starting to not run newer games that are coming out. The card I am planning to get is the EVGA GTX geforce 1060 3gb. My question is if it is compatiable to my motherboard and do i need to upgrade my power supply?
Thank you.

@TrulyGreg, welcome to the forum.
Here is the video card in your link at Newegg. In the "Specifications" section of the link it shows that the card requires a minimum of 400W (Your PSU is 460W.) and an available 6-pin power connector. It draws 120W. You should assure that your PSU has the 6-pin power connector or you will have to upgrade it.
I like to review components on Newegg because they always have excellent specifications on them.

You are very welcome, @TrulyGreg. I have bought components from Newegg for 18 years. They have good deals. My trick is to put the items I want to buy in my Shopping Cart and leave them for a day or two and I normally get a deal.
