Should I put a 3060 in this :)?

Hi there.

I want to upgrade and have a discreet GPU but am just having some conundrums. I have had multiple tech sources tell me it should be fine but I wanted to run it by you fine fellers.

Here is what I currently run (See below), and it does WOW well, usually 50-60 FPS but all depending on what’s going on medium-low settings.

I am mainly worried about the power supply not being enough at 500W but to keep this case that’s about as good as it’s going to get I believe. My builder professional friend that even though it’s recommended 550W it will be fine based on my current configuration.

I have looked at a lot of cards (3050, 3060, 6600xt.)but not a lot of options/availability at the fitting size for my case but I can get my hands on this one at a decent price:
GeForce RTX™ 3060 AERO ITX OC (msi.com)

I kind of realize I will overpay and stuff a bit since I want to keep the “cute” form factor but what can you do.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I would feel better if it was a 650 Watt Power supply, but I don’t see any issues as long as you don’t overclock it.

You should be fine.
