So, i have rig with an intel i3 4170 and im going to be putting in an msi gaming gtx 1060 3gb but i have to upgrade my psu and i dont know what wattage to get on it
im probably going to be upgrading my cpu soon and also overclocking my gpu

Im going to get one of these but i dont know which, as the 650w one is only £5 more

Both will do perfectly fine with that GPU ( as it's very little power-consuming ), both are great PSUs as well, nice choice on them.

But as you've stated, the price difference is only £5, so i'd get the 650W for more power headroom if you ever wish to upgrade any other thing as well. Maybe getting a unlocked CPU to overclock it as well.

Go for it, you won't regret neither of them.

You pretty much answered this yourself. For £5 extra its worth getting even if you dont need that much power and never will unless you upgrade your GPU and then SLI the new card, as a 1060 doesnt technically support SLI obviously..

Those G2's are a bit risky though. This article is from a senior member on this site https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/585894-why-you-should-not-purchase-the-evga-g2-lineup-especially-in-homes-with-frequent-brownouts/
