Would my Desktop Nitro 50 N50-600-EB14 take the ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 ?

At the moment I have a GTX 1060. But it barely handles Half-Life:Alyx :(
This is the link for the card.
Thank you

    I would like to share this valuable information from Jerry, an Amazon member:

    "Can you fit this gpu inside the case, yeah you probably can. Can you get it to work inside the case is a whole other story. I used to have that exact same pc and your probably not going to want to use this gpu with that pc for the following reasons. 1. The Acer case is very narrow and small. Putting a larger card like this 2060 will fit but just barley. The 8 pin connector on the side of the gpu will rub up against the side panel even if you bend it at a sharp 90 degree angle which could damage the cables. 2. The power supply in most Acer pc's is pretty cheap. It might say it's 500w but not rated for that which means it might only be 300 or 400w. So you'd more then likely have to swap out the power supply as well. The one I used to have also didn't come with a compatible 8 pin pci-e connector, so you will probably need an adapter if you decide to chance it. 3. Even if you manage to cram this gpu inside that Acer case is basically an easy bake oven. There is literally no airflow inside the tower which means those components will get hot very quick, I'm talking red line after 15 to 20 minutes of play time. To sum it up if you decide to get this gpu (and it's awesome by the way) spend some cash and get a better power supply and pc case and transfer your pc to the new case. If you can't afford to get a psu and case as well don't buy this card it's not a good fit for your current setup. Instead go with a 1650 or 1650 super. Both use much less power, run quieter, and are much smaller and will easily fit inside your current pc."

    Hi, I'm kinda late to this topic but how did it turn out? I'm wondering the same right now.
