Guys , previously when I asked about the Antec VP650V2 vs Seasonic S12ii 520 , you all recommended to go with the Seasonic S12ii 520 as it was a better unit
But the Antec VP650V2 is the cheapest among all in my country and currently I am on a tight situation and would like to save as much as possible , so I was wondering , if I go with the Antec unit will I be able to overclock my GTX 1060 without getting any issues or should i just cough up some cash and go with the Seasonic unit

The 550 is fine , you seem obsessed with thinking about overclocking this 1060 - I have no idea why, that i5 will probably hold things back more than a 1060 will.

But yes its a decent unit , it has 200w more capacity than you could actually ever use.

Nothing really wrong with the antec.
Its an average quality unit but offers far more power than you need with a 1060.

The only issue you'll have overclocking a 1060 will be if the card itself is not a good overclocker - the psu won't be an issue.

Guys there is a problem , currently the VP650V2 is sold out and only VP550 is available , it has 2 12V rails with 30 A rating for each , one 12V rail is for the ATX, PCi-E, SATA etc and the other for EPS , so will this PSU be good enough for my system and overclocking the GTX 1060 ?
System Specs :-
i5 3450
gtx 1060
8gb ddr3 1333 Mhz
Asus P8 H61-LX3 R2.0 mobo
1000 GB hdd at 5400 rpm
