Graphics Card for PowerSpec G223?
I have a PowerSpec G223 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB card. I'd like to update my graphics card to the GeForce RTX 2060. How hard is it to do this on my own? I've added hard drives to this computer in the past...

Greetings.
Yes, you can do that. The steps would roughly be:
- Uninstall drivers for current video card
- Shut down PC and unplug it
- Remove power plug(s) coming from power supply out of the video card, and remove any screws holding it in to the case. Pull the locking tab outwards on the PCIe slot.
- Pull the card out pulling up on both sides evenly if possible
- Place new card into the same slot, screw it in, plug the power plug(s) into the slot on the video card.
- Boot up PC
- Install new drivers
-
What is the highest level card that this motherboard and case will allow?

Greetings, probably an RTX 3050 or a AMD RX 6600, anything higher end than that you'd start to get into bottlenecking territory with the processor.
