I currently have a Cooler Master B500 500w and I want to upgrade to a better PSU before installing the gtx1060, but I'm not sure what PSU to get. I know I could probably get by with a 500w, but I'd like a 600w in case I decide to upgrade any other components in a year or so. Any ideas?
What PSU for i5-4690 + GTX1060?

A good-quality 550W PSU would be more than enough for that type of system with the intention to upgrade to an overclockable CPU and a more powerful single GPU in the future. But with your current i5-4690 + GTX 1060 setup, even a good quality 450W will suffice.
Here are suggested ~550W good-quality PSUs to consider:
Seasonic G-550 (Semi-Modular, 5-year warranty): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DPCwrH/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550 (Fully Modular, 7-year warranty): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1
EVGA SuperNOVA G3 550 (Fully Modular, 7-year warranty): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sMM323/evga-supernova-g3-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g3-0550
Corsair RM550x (Fully Modular, 10-year warranty): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3zNypg/corsair-power-supply-cp9020090na
Note: if you really want ~600W, you can also get the 650W version of the above PSUs only if the price is close to the 550W. But, if you are thinking about multi-GPU setups in the future, look around the 750W ~ 850W and up (depending on which GPU you are planning to add in the future)
