So I have a i5 4690 and a 750ti and I plan to upgrade my graphics card to a evga 1060 3gb, but am afraid that my evga 500watt 80+ doesn't have enough to run both components. Am also worried that it might be too big for case or motherboard.

Motherboard - H81M-A Micro Atx

Case - Rosewill FBM-01

Yes, sorry for the confusion. The estimated calculation would still be roughly the same (for the GTX 1060). The GTX 1060...
Your CPU would roughly draw 84W. Your GTX 750Ti (depending on the model), roughly 75W to 150W. Other components, RAM/HDD/SSD/Fans roughly ~100W for headroom. You'd be looking at 334W max.

The EVGA PSU, though not the best quality/build/warranty out there, would have enough juice to power your rig, providing 40A at the 12V rail (equal to 480W). The size of that PSU would fit in your micro-ATX case.

I meant if the psu be enough if I had in a evga 1060 -------> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487263&cm_re=1060-_-14-487-263-_-Product and also if it would fit in the case.
 


Yes, sorry for the confusion. The estimated calculation would still be roughly the same (for the GTX 1060). The GTX 1060 would only draw ~120W to 150W max. So you'd still be looking at ~334W draw.

That GTX 1060 will fit your case as that single-fan GPU was designed for much smaller ITX cases than your mATX mini-tower case.
