Hello.
Tomorrow my gtx 1060 will arrive. And i don't know if my PSU will just be enough. I have a Cooler Master G450M, so 450 W (duuh). Have a r7 260x and it all runs well. i did use the online calculator for wattage, and got like 360 W required. I am not sure if this number is really accurate. And how much will overclocking the CPU take.
Other components of my comp, if it helps:
i5-6600k (it's not overclocked,... yet)
using 2x8 gb of ddr4 2133mhz
2 ssd's
3x 120mm fans

450W will be enough for your system, dont worry. The calculator says that 336w will be the abdolute highest the system can go so 450w will do fine.

If you plan to OC than 450w should still suffice, the calculator includes the CPU highest possible wattage so even overclocked your system might not even pull 360w.

if the 450W is good, i think that the 430 W would be aswell, since the calculated watt usage in a system with a gtx 1060 would be around 330-380 W max

For sure, with the Supernova nex750b you will have a lot of headroom and will definitely be able to upgrade again in the future, if wanted.

It's not even remotely accurate. These online calculators always vastly overstate the Wattage. Eg Anandtech using an overclocked hex-core i7 4960X Extreme measured maximum 279 Watts power draw with an overclocked Asus ROG GTX 1060:

Your G450M is just fine.

Edit: just realised how old this thread is, for some reason it appeared on my "top content for you this week" email from Toms :(

Hello I am facing a similar issue


Today I just bought a brand new zotac gtx 1060 6gb AMP edition graphic card...and I played GTA 5 after installation...it worked fine ...
Now when I played battlefield 4 with maxed out settings...within 10-15minutes of gameplay my monitor went into sleep mode...but the game was still running....I could not wake up my monitor with my mouse or any key for that matter... I had to reboot...since then it's been happening every time....I figured it's a psu issue as I'm using a 450W psu...but I'm not sure plz advice

My specs:

Intel core i5 4670- 3.4ghz
Corsair vengeance dd3 ram 8gb
1tb Seagate SSHD
zotac gtx 1060 AMP edition 6gb
Zebronics 450W gold series psu
Gigabyte Mobo H81M-S1 LGA 1150
Zebronics defender cabinet with 2 led fans
Dell 20" monitor without HDMI port

ok guys doesnt matter how old this post is I want you to remember what kind of power supplys bigger companies put in their builds. e.g If you buy a pc with i5 6600k and gtx 1060 they will put in the lowest tier 350w psu, because they want you to pay more by thinking it wont be enough but even those who dont change it up with like a 600w still dont have any problems whatsoever!
