I recently built a gaming pc with the following specs :-
1-> Ryzen 5 1600
2-> MSI GTX 1060 6gb OC
3-> 8 GB RAM
4-> MSI B350 TOMAHAWK MOTHERBOARD
5-> 500W PSU (FORGOT THE MAKE)

My question is :- Is the 500W PSU enough for it as my vendor convinced me or I need to upgrade it. I have no plans of upgrading this build in the future as this already costed me a fortune.

This PSU should be good for that hardware, as i understand, the TDP's of both your CPU and GPU are well below 500 watts, and with modern hardware, you should be good to run at 500 watts. Really, this is totally up to you, but the max I personally would go is 600 watts, any more is just a waste of my money fro that system.
