I live in Pakistan and as you know that there is no amazon or ebay or these kind of websites in PK. So I have to buy from local market or the websites which are providing some low level power supply for cheap rates.So I have three options:
http://www.pakdukaan.com/thermaltake-power-supplies/1299-thermaltake-litepower-series-450w-power-supply-ps-ltp-0450nncnus-f.html
http://www.pakdukaan.com/corsair-power-supplies/1207-corsair-vs-series-vs450-450-watt-smps-.html
http://www.pakdukaan.com/cooler-master-power-supplies/1269-cooler-master-masterwatt-lite-400w-power-supply-for-pc-mpx-4001-acabw.html
Now people say that these are very bad power supply and they are most likely to explode.But I need a reply from an expert community so I came here. GTX 1060 6gb requires one 6 or 8 pin connector which these power supply have, and secondly on the website it is written that 120 watts are required so isn't it enough?
For your information:
HP Elite 8200 MT
I5 2320 3.0ghz
8gb DDR3 1333mhz ram
Hp 320w psu (default)
Zotac GTX 1050 OC
Windows 7 ultimate
I will buy new mobo and power supply so it will not remain hp!

No, Thermaltake Litepower 650 isn't any better from the three you listed earlier. Antec VP600P is still better build quality wise.

With PSUs, it's easy to see their build quality if you look at their price. Better quality units cost more than lower quality units. And this isn't so with PSUs but almost all things.

Antec VP600P costs 800 PKR more. If you're so worried about PSU's build quality, you should find the extra money. But if you don't care about your PC at all, go with the cheapest garbage PSU you can...

The three you linked above are all low quality units and the looks of it, you plan to cheap out on a PSU. That's a bad idea since PSU is the most important component inside the PC since it powers everything. And low quality units are plagued by issues, that's why they are so cheap.

This one: Antec VP600P, is better PSU since it's made by FSP and it's a mediocre quality unit. Also, it's 600W is more than enough for your PC,

Though, i, personally would go with Antec High Current Gamer HCG-750M. Reason behind is that it's made by Seasonic and it is a good quality unit. And for gaming PC, i wouldn't use anything lower from good quality PSU,

All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic made PSUs (full specs with pics in my sig).

That's the reality with PCs, you can cheap out on every other component, expect the PSU.
