Can my PC run a GTX 1060?
Almost any motherboard can handle a GTX 1060. You just need a PCIe x 16 slot (Version 3.0 preferred but should work fine with minimal performance impact on PCIe version 2.0). You also need to have nothing plugged into the slot next to your PCIe x16 slot because almost all graphics cards take up two slots physically.
Does GPU need cooler?

- Add an aftermarket GPU cooler to your graphics card.
Can you cool a GPU with a CPU cooler?
Most CPU coolers are not made to handle the heat of a GPU. Many modern processors don’t even break 100W while GPUs frequently exceed 200W. That power dissipation requirement varies wildly between SKUs. But generally a CPU cooler is outclassed by a GPU cooler.
Is 1060 or 1050ti better?
GTX 1060 benchmarks. As you can see from the table above, both the 3GB and 6GB versions of the GTX 1060 provide better bandwidth, higher clock speeds, and more CUDA cores than the GTX 1050 Ti. The real difference comes down to the price and what you want to use the GPU for.
