I'm considering an upgrade for my ASUSTeK H110M-R motherboard, which currently has an Nvidia 1050Ti graphics card. I'm curious if I should go for a 3060 instead. I mainly use my PC for basic gaming, like Planet Zoo and Space Engineers. Plus, I have no idea what my power supply is, but it's 230V. Any recommendations or insights on the upgrade would be greatly appreciated!

It really depends on what you use your PC for. If it's just light gaming, a 3060 should work, but I would need to know more about your CPU and power supply situation. With your i7-6700 CPU, you might experience some bottlenecking at 1080p, especially in more demanding games. What resolution are you playing at?
Honestly, considering your setup, it might be time for a whole system refresh. The parts you have are fine for what you're doing now, but building a new system could give you the performance boost you might want in the future. Plus, there are budget-friendly options out there that could work well for you.
Upgrading to a 3060 is totally doable, as long as your PSU has enough power and the right connectors. Just check if you have enough space in your case for the card too! That said, the 1050 Ti is getting a bit outdated, so an upgrade could be beneficial overall.
Yeah, but if you're not that into tech, maybe looking into a pre-built system could be a better option!
I’m using two 1920x1080 monitors, so good to know about the bottlenecking!
