Just wondering if I could run both these GPU's on my single Corsair CX650M or should I upgrade my PSU first?

Current setup:
GTX 1060 6gb
I5 6600k
Asus Z170-E Mobo
1tb HD
250gb ssd
And single 8gb stick of ddr4

Edit: RX 470 planning on the 8gb version.

DX12 was supposed to be universal, able to run 2 cards simultaneously, but not in sli/crossfire, so you'd actually see a benefit from smaller cards as the ram would be additive, not shared as mgpu can run either AFR or SFR separately on each card. The problems usually arise when running a DX11 title, which does support sli/crossfire and does not support mgpu. Unfortunately, game devs haven't really utilized to any degree mgpu support, so the advantage of DX12 is kinda moot in that respect.

1) You can run two GPU's of any kind in general, but if they are DIFFERENT I don't see the point of it. Usually it's for gaming and for that you want identical GPUs (or close with AMD)

GTX1060 + RX470 makes no sense.

2) GTX1060 doesn't support SLI. There's no SLI bridge.
- you can so it for AMD on the cheaper cards and they can go through the motherboard without a bridge

OTHER: I wouldn't recommend mixing AMD + NVidia, but I'm not certain how common driver conflict issues are now. I've certainly tried it without issues and that includes running Intel + NVidia + AMD on the same rig just to see if it would (one screen per GPU).
