Hello, 

 

I currently have an OMEN Obelisk Desktop 875-0014.

I'm looking to get an upgrade on my graphics capabilities.

I currently have a GTX 1060 and was looking to put a better model since this one is starting to show its age a bit.

Does the model I go to matter at all?

Will I need to do other modifications at all?

 

Specs (if it matters):

Intel Core i7-8700 CPU

NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB

16 GB of RAM

 

 

 

Thanks in advance
