Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's fine.  I run both without a problem.

Yeah it's alright, no worries it will be fine. But mine i only use nvidia graphics card. For me Amd has high tdp than nvidia but soon you could buy new graphics card. Save your money and upgrade a higher gpu.. high end gpu is less electricity.

You should be fine. Keep in mind that two GPUs in a standard case produce a bit more heat while (even only one) is mining.

What do you mean by "play on 1060"? Games?

I suspect you mean Playing games on your 1060.. The main thing with rigs for mining is heat. If you have a small enclosed case then you'll definitely need to look into getting more airflow in.. Main issue with all these if you look online most are just motherboards in open space with the cards able to dissipate the heat into a room directly instead of through the case.

You should be able to play games easily. Also, make sure that 1060 is put to work when not gaming!

My advice is to make sure you have add more "cooling" to your case, it will extend life span of your system as a whole. Heat does expands so depending on your room size, if you are to take one side out, you can use it as a small space heater  ;D

You couldn't play any games while mining even playing video on player sometimes it going crash. Only playing music mp3 can do or browsing.
