can i change to a Gigabyte GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6GB GDDR5

[ni257nja]

i want to change my gpu (r9 390x) to a better one that can run 144hz so the 1060 was my best choise (for be more specific the 

Gigabyte GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6GB GDDR5,its the one i want) so it can fit in the case? theres a huge metal part in the case can i remove it without problem? the metal piece is covering half of the gpu the side with the psu connector but theres are some screws holding it so it will be ok if i remove it?

@ni257nja, welcome to the forum.

I believe the metal piece is a support for the video card.  The one in my Omen 880-160se is smaller, however.  I suggest carefully removing it to see what happens.  Just make certain that you watch how it comes off so you can replace it.

The Gigabyte GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6GB GDDR5 should fit into the space, as long as, the support will fit the card.  You can measure the support.  The length of the card is 8.78" and the height is 4.76".  Also, it requires that your power supply unit (PSU) has a 6-pin power connector.
