EVGA does have good PSUs, but the B1 series isn't one of their better models. General rule of thumb is the *1 series of PSUs isn't "good", while the *2 series of PSUs is. Meaning B1 isn't good, while G2 is. Like the CX series from Corsair, I don't mean the B1 series is garbage. I just mean for the money spent there is usually a better option.

Here is the 550W G3 which is EVGAs newest PSU. Full modular, Gold rated instead of bronze, and $60 after rebate. Much better PSU and it's not more expensive.

This is the cheapest 1060 6GB I saw on pcpartpicker.

It's only $30 cheaper than the one on bestbuy. You might be able to get them to price match it even though it's a different card. They do have different part numbers so they probably won't.

As a mod I can see your deleted post, do you already have that PSU? I wouldn't buy that one as it's an EVGA B1 PSU. They aren't known for being very good. If you already have it you are ok to use it. The 1060 doesn't use a lot of power so you won't be loading that PSU up very high. But getting a different one isn't a bad idea.

Edit: In his deleted post he says he has a 600W B1 EVGA PSU. He deleted it though so I'm not sure if he really has that PSU. The B1 series isn't the best, but 600W on even a slightly below avg PSU should be enough for that rig.

@4745454b I got this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MTJTO2O/ref=ya_st_dp_summary?ie=UTF8&psc=1&th=1
Power supply it was only 60 dollars and had like 2900 reviews at 4.5 stars so i thought it would be decent, it's coming tomorrow or Monday from amazon so I can always return it for a different one If you think it's that bad, I also wasn't sure how the 1060 6gb I linked was considering I couldn't find it on pc part picked but I think I was able to find it https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KqRFf7/evga-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-ssc-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-6264-kr
I think it was this one
