Appreciate all the fast replies, I was thinking of getting the TX550M but the "TX Series semi-Modular Power supplies are ideal for basic desktop systems where low energy use, low noise and simple Installation are essential"
made me think i might get bottleneck from it?

Valid comment.



The PSU won't "bottleneck" your system - the TX550 is a quality unit and more than sufficient to run that setup without issue.

If it simply HAS to be that site, then go for the TX550.

The selection is very limited, and pricing isn't great at all though.

If you were open to alternative retailers and prepared to spend "up to" $150 AUS though, for a long-term investment, I'd be inclined to look at the Focus+ Gold 550W from SeaSonic.

The TX550 (and Antec HCG for that matter) are still pitched as relative "budget" offerings. The Focus+ however, is a top tier PSU and has a 10 year warranty IIRC.

Just so you know that GTX 1060 is not going to push a 144 monitor unless you cut the in game settings down in most games or are just playing CSGO
Case. Of course depends on the looks YOU like your the one going to see it every day. The CPU cooler you picked will fit.
