Moved a "Poll" to a post for easier communication.

First off, i'd like to say sorry if I post this in the wrong area. I'm new to 'posting'. So, with that being said. I bought a computer "Vanquish 4 - level 1" from digital storm... about a year or so ago. It has been great so far, but I've been wanting to upgrade to a 1060(Or higher)for the last couple of months. I have a couple problems relating to doing this. First, I'm no computer tech, so i'm not one to risk stripping my computer for experience/knowledge. Second, money isn't easy to come by, so i don't want to buy a GPU that doesn't fit my mother board. Can anyone link me to a good 1060 that'll fit to my comp? Other than that this is the GPU I plan on getting, will it fit my comp?

SPECS ACCORDING TO THE FOLDER I RECEIVED
Processor: Intel Core i5 6500 3.2GHz
Motherboard: ASUS/GIGABYTE (Intel h110 Chipset)
Memory: 8gb DDR4 2133MHz
Power Supply: 600W EVGA/Corsair
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 4gb

As far as a new gtx 1060, that motherboard has the standard Pciex16 slot for a graphics card, so any will fit.    EVGA, MSI, Asus, etc are all good .



As closed to "Fixed" as it's gonna get.

For asdqwe... Here is a little post I put together when I upgraded my own Vanquish (V2 level 4 Ultimate).

Changing the GPU is rather simple. Just take your time and make sure you're grounded when you start poking around inside the case. Pull the side off, unplug the card, unhook the Pciex16 lane clip and replace it.

You won't see a doubling of performance as I did, but I went from a 770 to a 1070.

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask any questions. We're here to help!

I went from 2 x 670s to a 1080ti with no problems at all.

Follow snaikes instructions and you will be fine.
