I was planning on getting a 450 watt psu for my gaming pc build with an i5 4460 and a gtx 1060 strix 6gb, will this be enough or should I try for something higher?

The Seasonic S12 520 is a superb PSU (9.7 jonnyguru rating) for $48 .. the 620 watter is $1 more ... the modular version of the S12 (M12) is $63

400 watts as per nVidia

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 1060 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 350~400 Watts power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina. And remember, a PSU is the most efficient at 50% load.
