I'm thinking about purchasing the GTX 1060 but unsure if my motherboard supports it. My computer hasn't been upgraded recently.

You'll still need to tackle the PSU issue, too... also verify if it's a typical ATX, an SFF, or something custom-made. Once that's sorted, think about how long your GPU will be. Some of HP's cases are quite tight; you might need to take out a drive cage or opt for a shorter 1060 card.

Hello
@PcNewbie20
Welcome to the forums is great!
And yes or no, a 1060 can work with your system if the original motherboard has an PCIe x16 port, though the power supply is only 180 watts which isn't enough since the 1060 needs at least 400 watts.

If I upgraded my PSU, like the Corsair 550, it would allow me to use the GTX 1060.

Upload an image showing your current PSU, back of the PC, or inside. Let me know if the power cable connects straight to the back of your PC or resembles a laptop charger.
