WOW!! thats an amazing pc with the kabylake cpu.
I'm considering tha you have a minimum of 1tb of storage plus other stuff like disk drives.
the gtx 1060 is not a very power hungry gpu.It requires a 6 pin power connector and 400w min.
So a decent branded psu (like corsair, cooler master, EVGA) of 500w should be enough.
but its always better to go for a higher power psu just to stay safe so i would personally go for 550w psu.
but the 500w should be just fine because i've seen some of my friends using a similar pc with just 450w.

I meant that a good 80+ psu of corsair they are more than enough for that setup.
And the rx 480 is never a better option man. the 1060 is best for most modern games.
the 4gb rx 480 has only 7gbps memmory clock but the 3gb 1060 has 8 gbps memmory clock.

even then 450W should be enough but we have to wait for real benchmarks for the total power draw to be released
as for units that are affordable - this varies heavily on your location
for example: XFX is very affordable and cheap in my country compared to other brands, while it's the other way around for example in Japan
usually affordable units are
XFX Core / Pro / TS (450/550W)
Corsair CXM (450/550W with grey letters, avoid the 430/500/600W)
Super Flower Golden Green / Golden King (450/550W)
Seasonic G (450/550W)
Seasonic M12II-Evo (520W)
Antec Truepower Classic (550W, I think there's no 450W but I could be wrong)
Antec HCG (520W)
EVGA SuperNova GS / G2 / B2 (550W, since the G3 release you can get them pretty cheap sometimes)
