My current build:
Intel Xeon E5-1660 (TDP: 130W)
Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB (TDP: 120W, minimum PSU req.: 400W)

RAM 32GB (8x4GB DDR3)
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
2x2TB HDD
2x500GB HDD

and I consider to add:
Nvidia GTX 950 (TDP 90W, minimum PSU req.:350W)

With "Kill A Watt" meter I measured the consumption during rendering (Thea render Presto -
CPU+GPU mode) and it was at max 290W. Thats the highest load I expect. So adding a GTX 950 shouldn't be a problem, is that correct?

Thanks!

yes it is enough , this is a professional workstation and they use good quality power supply. you have 3x12V at 17 A each , and 2x12V at 15 A each and total power of 500 watts maximum.

GTX 1050/1050 Ti is a good point with 75W, I will consider this.

But still - is this 500W enough? What is tha maximum constant load (in %) which it can manage? During renderings - 3-4 hours constantly.

Thanks.
