gpu : msi rx 460 2gb ddr5

Solution
I'd recommend maybe an XFX TS 430w. They don't cost too much at all per model, and since XFX tend to make high-quality solid PSUs, it will future proof you slightly too. I personally use this power supply, and I can happily run a 1060 on it. It also comes with a nice 5-year warranty and great customer service.

Also, the cooler master elite 350W isn't a PSU I would use for gaming, as it isn't as stable as the XFX as proven in the list above since it's rated a Tier 4 PSU, It's also more like 300-325W. It's not a big difference, but in the long run when you potentially upgrade things you will need to buy another PSU. My advice is to invest in something decent, so you don't have to add more expenses to the shopping list in the future...
