HP Desktop computer with awesome processor. I think this seems to be a great deal for a high power processor if that's what you're after. £480 is a good price for a full blown desktop with this spec that includes windows.

I'd change your title otherwise this will go super cold. To me it's an i7 6700 cpu for £480 when you can get it for like £250. By looking at the link it's within a built pc.

Anyone know how hard itd be to add a gtx 1060, extra ram and an ssd to this? would I need a new power supply?

you would need to replace the power supply if you dont want to burn it out with a 1060
i would wait a little while since kaby lake is close, the next generation is close...

You'll get along fine with a 500w power supply as I do with my 1070 SC and I've only upgraded to an 850w because it was half price. Depending on your mobo as well will depend what ram it can take ie ddr3 or ddr4 and what mhz it can handle and a ssd will most likely be sata so as long as you have a sata connection on the mobo it'll be fine

Beware of HP desktops, I've just bought a HP i5 Haswell for £130, but the downside is the power supply is just enough to run the processor, and not enough to run anything but the lowest powered GPU.
forget high powered GPU's too, there is no 6/8 pin 12v plug
also forget changing the PSU, the motherboard doesn't use standard ATX connectors.
As a pure desktop, great, but they are not bargain gaming machines.

I can only find one pic of the internals and it looks like a standard PSU so should be replaceable.
