I want to buy a gtx 1060 3gb from Palit and im worried if my psu can handle this build(i will not overclock)
I5 4690 locked
8 gb ram dual channel
7850 1gb now(~100 watts)
msi b85m g43
2 7400 rpm hdds
1ssd
Coolermaster b500 ver2
Palit states it consumed 120 watts but im sure they consume more i also had a 960 4gb super clocked and it was running like a champ for half a year until i sold it

Then i would go with the 1060, its the fastest of those choices. And then just realize you may need to turn off some texture detailing for best performance in demanding games.

Its a good GPU however it is cut down on performance a bit compared to 6gb. There are some games that can utilize the extra memory. If you can afford the 6gb version its worth getting, but it all depends on your budget.

No one can say for certain, but it should last a couple months just fine. While it is certainly not high quality, its not a super low quality parts killer/house fire starter level of unit.
