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

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

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.
