I have an i5 4440S 2.8 GHz, GTX 1060 6 GB, Gigabyte H81M-S Mobo, 2×4 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, 2 TB Seagate barracuda . So is 500 W power is enough?

4440S? That's the low power chip. 35W? 45W? You have a 120-150W GPU? I figure your gaming draw to be around 200, maybe 250W. Technically you could power this with a quality 380 or 430W PSU. I suggest getting a good 450-500W PSU. Even then you'll have lots of room for upgrades.

I'm sure someone is going to come in and suggest a 650-750W PSU, 1kW if you want to upgrade your GPU. I 100% assure you they are flat wrong. 450-500 is plenty for nearly every single video card setup.
