Hi guys, I'm buying a MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X for my gaming PC and was wondering what power supplies would be best for it? I currently have an XPD-RD 750W which I can't find any information on it (which I don't like). So I was planning to upgrade, any suggestions? (nothing over $125!!!)

Also would a Corsair CX-600 V3 Power Supply work fine with the New graphics card?

Any help appreciated!! Thanks!!!

CPU: Intel core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 760 2GB
PSU: XPD-RD 750W
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
Storage: 1TB of internal storage + 1TB of external storage
Cooling Unit: 3 cooling fans
RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M2A2133C11R DDR3
1 x 8GB Crucial DDR3-1600 UDIMM (24 GB'S In Total)

I've owned a Corsair CX. You have a nice system, and are adding a nice card, why are you being cheap with the power supply? It's a vital component.

Companies like Corsair sell quality power supplies but also they sell budget lines too. This way they have something for sale in every price point. Don't buy their cheap stuff for a system like yours. Get a Seasonic, or good quality EVGA or Corsair. You don't need 600 watts either, 500W worth of good power supply with the pci-ex connector you need will do it.
