Why not something newer, like a 1050Ti?
(and yes, for gaming you should - even those rather not so demanding titles you play)

It won't even bottleneck a 1060. Intel i5 has pretty solid performance.

Before you get all too excited, just make sure whatever you get is within your budget.

That PSU will also need an upgrade first.

How many watt is your psu? And what brand is it from? I would like to know the full name of the psu if possible.

Sorry I am on phone with slow internet.

You gonna need a new PSU for any decent gaming GPU.

Is that a prebuilt office PC? Components also have to fit physically.

Otherwise, throw in 1060+, new PSU, and you got a decent mid range system.

Is a 1060 or a 750 TI not compatible with my psu at the moment?
It is prebuilt but i have space inside my case
And how many watts is my psu?

12 V line is relevant, which can handle 14A, which means it's 168W.
GPU's are powerhungry, you'd be pushing your (old) PSU up to and over its limit, possibly breaking other parts in your PC when it fails.

If my math is correct, 230ish watts, and 170ish on 12v - doubt it delivers that much for long.

1060 will definitely not work properly, 750Ti may or may not - completely outdated either way.

Yes! You will see a huge performance bump.
A couple of options available for you.

1) You could spend $120 or less finding a newer and much better GPU over what you have (GT 630), but you have to find a GPU that doesn't require extra 6-pin or 8-pin power cables to feed it. This leaves you with the GTX 1050 from Nvidia or possibly a RX 560 from AMD (but you may need to look into this RX 560 more before pulling the trigger, I think it's a little more power hungry over the GTX 1050).

OR

2) You can spend around upwards of $350 ($240-260 or so on a GTX 1060 and around $70-80 on a solid 500W PSU) and have a much better system overall that'll last you a lot longer over simply buying a low-end gaming GPU.

Finding a way to breath new life into your existing computer can be handled well or very poorly.

My old computer (had a PII x4 940 that I OC'ed to 3.6) and dual GTX 570s. I waited and waited for AMD to have something awesome from their Steamroller desktop CPU that never came (since Bulldozer and Piledriver flopped, the desktop CPU line was scrapped) so I moved to an Intel i5-4670k. The speed of the i5 put a lot of life into my system. I ended up keeping the dual GTX 570s for a few more years. The new CPU made a huge difference, it let my GPUs fly!

So you need to decide how you want to handle your system that fits the best within your budget. You can go minimal that'll give a fairly good performance boost or you can spend big and have an awesome performance boost.
