Hello,

I currently am running a Ryzen 7 1700, GTX 1060 6gb on a 650W 80+ gold rated EVGA power supply. I am considering adding a 1060 3gb for mining and am wondering if I would be okay with 650W or if I needed to buy a better PSU.

Thanks!

That will work when mining your processor is not going to be stressed more just the video cards.

I plugged in everything into the system builder and got 479W. Is 650W enough overhead to cover any potential power spikes?

You should be fine. But if your still Iffy about 650 watts then go for 700 watts
