CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
Hard Drive : Running 1 black and 1 blue (1TB) Western Digital.

Can this CoolerMaster 460W PSU (+12V1[18A] +12V2[18A]) runs Leadtek's GTX 1060?
I'm alittle worried that it may harm the Graphic card and parts of my hardware.

Hmm, the GTX 1060 is a more power hungry card than the HD7770 (around 40W more). So it may or may not be ok with your new card. If it's still working well, then it's not a bad supply, just not something you want to add too big of a card.

There wouldn't be any kind of bottleneck. The supply is capable of giving the card enough power. The question is for how long. ^_^ It may last quite a while though.

I didn't know that this PSU is bad.. I've been using this PSU on the same CPU and other components except recently I just bought the Leadtek's 1060. The previous graphic card I was using HD7770.

Would there be any bottle neck for the 1060 if I use it now on this current PSU now?
