If I bought a 1060 would I need to buy a new power supply with my setup?

Would my power supply run good enough if I was to upgrade my graphics card for a 1060? Or would I need to buy a new power supply?
PC Specs:
AMD FX-6300 CPU
8GB Corsair Ram
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC GPU
970A-DS3P Motherboard
1TB Western Digital Storage
500 Watt EVGA PSU

That PSU will be able to handle it no problem.

Th 500b although not the greatest quality , can easily run those specs. A decent 450w can do it.

Both gtx 960 and 1060 have a claimed power draw of 120W. So swapping one for the other is not an issue.

In additional, your PSU is capable of supporting a higher power draw card. 1060 is no problem for it.
