He has a 650w power supply and these are his specs, he would like to know if his pc will be able to cope with a 1060 6gb and if not what will he need. Thanks

if that power supply has 8-pin for gpu, 1060 will be most likely best card for that pc

Thanks for the reply, Its appreciated. 

It should handle a 1080. Won't be bottlenecking for sure.

Actually you don't need 8-pin for a 1060. Without doing overclocking, a 6 pin is fine.

It just has a 8-pin slot. It's fine to run 6 pin connector in that since PCI-e slot already draws 75W -and about 60w  extra from 6pin cable.

It will work.

However, if ur friend wants to run at higher clocks without ever getting artifacts. If the PSU has 2x 6 pin cables, there are various connectors that can 

change that to a single 8 pin (or 6+2, doesnt matter)

should be good I dont see any other bottlenecks that would limit a 1060s performance

edit: except his monitors being 60hz instead of 120 or 144 hz, this doesnt limit performance really but you wont be able to really see anything above 60fps so any extra frames are lost on the user.
