Upgrade GPU on Inspiron 3656
So I have a Inspiron 3656 with an fx 8800p version and was wondering if I could use this card: https://www.newegg.com/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-zt-p10610a-10l/p/N82E16814500405 Would the power supply not be enough? Or would it simply just not fit.

it has to do 3 things.
1 : fit and not hit, full height card (not short 79mm)
2: Power is stated there, 120watt card 400watt PSU min.
3: and run with w10-64bit and the issues of UEFI and all that, no OS by you stated, so impossible to answer.
that is double wide card, and can be a problem.
this issues is this,,,,, fit looks like it fits, but I can not measure your case, when closed.(wing)
nor do I know what PSU you have there (I read the sticker on the side every time)
180w fail
240watt fail.
some guys find PSU from other dell PC and jam it in here, so I look first. then leap.

why not put in a GTX1050ti and be happy with 75watt max GPU.
?
why look at the power hogs? now reasons stated for the card/ $60 AAA games, or? just what?
why not happy now? I can't guess and APPLICATIONS you run is what matters, (a job , a goal a game or?)
