    Depending on which SKU was yours you'll have either a 200W or 300W power supply. The case is a standard ATX mini tower, so there should be plenty of room for the card. The GPU expansion slot is an x16, so plenty good there. NVIDIA recommends a 400W power supply so to upgrade you'll need both the GTX 1060 card and a larger power supply. You might also look into upgrading your HD with a SSD, that will also give a big boost to performance.
