Hello, my question is will my PSU gonna be good. PSU is Thermaltake Litepower Black 500W. Some people says even if its 500w its not very good PSU. I want to buy GTX 1060 Gigabyte G1. I've checked online calculator and it said that load wattage will be 314 W.
My full spec is
- Intel Core i5-3350P (not OC)
- AsRock B75M-GL
- Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz
- Seagate 500GB 7200rpm
- Silentium Brutus 410 (2x 120mm fans)
Do I need to change my PSU? If my words are misleading I'm sorry. English isnt my "main" language :)

Your psu has two 6 pin pcie power leads.
That particular GTX1060 is a highly overclocked version that needs a 8 pin connector instead of the usual 6 pin connector.
You will need a adapter to convert two 6 pin leads into a single 8 pin.

Other than that, you should be good.

I've looked on the page where I've bought this PSU. Does it makes any difference with the adapter stuff?
