Hi everyone,
I have a 460W max psu powering my OEM HP pc: i7 4770 GTX 1050ti 16gb ddr3 ram , and I'm planning to get a gigabyte gtx 1060 6gb mini itx oc with a 6 pin connector , would it work fine ? thanks in advance.

I don't know why they wouldn't put a 6 pin power lead on a 460 watt PSU. Assuming it does I'd say 460 is plenty of power for a GTX 1060. A 6 pin connector provides a max of 225 watts when combined with the PCIe slot power - less than half of the PSU's total rating, and that's a 95 watt CPU in there. There's power to spare.
