Hi, I've settled the parts for my first gaming build (http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/vGtrM8) but I'm not sure what power supply to get. I was planning to get a CX500 or CX600 but saw on the forum that it wasn't recommended. I'm thinking of getting a Corsair CS450M but don't know if that will be enough power. PCPartPicker says that it will use 286w but I don't know if it will be enough if I want to upgrade later on or install more storage. Can someone recommend me a PSU that will power my build and is around 100 AUD.

Parts:
Intel Core i5-6500
MSI B150M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Sandisk SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB WINDFORCE OC 6G Video Card
TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCI-Express x1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter

450W will be enough.

I'd go with either the _NEW_ Corsair CX450M (the one with the grey lettering on the unit, much better than the old one)
or a XFX unit with 450W (except XT) as they usually come cheap

450W should be sufficient for a 1060.
if you plan on eventually upgrading bigger in the future go with 550W

Thanks, I think I'll go with a CX450M which is $85 or a CX550M which is $10 more and would be the same price as the XFX TS 550W including shipping and the XFX one isn't modular.

however the XFX is of better quality using better capacitors throughout the system
but yeah, generally the CX450M will do a fine job
