Is my Nitro N50-600 compatible with a rtx 3060 ti? I am looking to upgrade my graphics card

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card and am wondering about compatability. Would the motherboard also be compatible with a 2060 or something similar in power? I currently have a Radeon Rx580x. Thanks.

    Or possibly a 6600.

    If you have the 500watt PSU, the all three should be OK but the 3060 might cause occasional issues under peak power loads since it can draw ~200watts. The 2060 is ~150watts peak. The 6600 ~140 watts.

    Thanks this was really helpful. Im likely going to get the 6700 XT instead, does this change anything?

    Yes. The 6700 peaks about 10% more power than even the 3060. So it's even more likely to cause issues and stress a 500 watt PSU. If it was mine, I wouldn't go any further than the 3060 without getting a bigger PSU. But it's not mine. So you'll have to decide for yourself if you want to take the chance. Sorry.
