Can I put a msi 1060 dual fan inside of my inspiron 3030?

I got this gtx 1060 and I didn't know how to put it inside, I saw a video of a person looking inside the inspiron 3030, and they said you need a 6 pin connecter to install it.

Do i have to buy a new psu or can it work with my gpu? Please answer ASAP

The GTX 1060 is a standard-sized GPU (typically a full-length card). The Inspiron 3030's case is quite compact, and fitting a full-sized GTX 1060 may be difficult or impossible without modifications. Check the internal dimensions of your case and compare with the length of the MSI GTX 1060.

You need to have a 300w Dell oem psu.  The base 180w psu can’t give you the pcie connector for gtx 1060.
