So I think its time to upgrade from my 750 Ti, I was looking into the Asus Geforce GTX 1060. Also yes, I am on a tight budget.

However. I only have a 430w PSU and I am also afraid I will not have enough power for it to run. Could anyone tell me would I be fine or have to get a new PSU too? And let me know on the GPU itself. Have heard it is not a quiet GPU as it has a blower fan. But I dont think that would bother me.

Mainly want this GPU for gaming. Just to improve FPS on most games!

My PC:
Intel Core i5-6400
EVGA 750Ti TC.
Gigabyte H110 S2H
EVGA 430w PSU.

(Not the best build I know But I think the 750 ti is a Great card!)

430W is more than enough. However, a GTX 1060 is a poor choice at this point IMO, RX 480 is wiser. Plus, cheaper. £250 for a GTX 1060 is a rip off, especially a blower cooler.

4GB 480 will honestly be fine, but you can get the 8GB variant instead if you really want.
