Is my PSU enough for gtx 1060 6gb and Ryzen 5 2600x?

Power wise yes it's enough.

That psu only has a combined max of 430w on the 12v line which is where it matters.

A 2600x & 1060 with a couple of hard drives etc is not going to top 300w though under max use.

If be more concerned with quality over wattage though, why run modern & fairly expensive components on some generic Chinese tat model psu than something branded & decent ?

Your PSU is actually Chinese with a Korean Sticker (see made in China at the bottom). But so is everything made in China. Now the Americans will have to pay extra money for their Electronics, anyway I digress.

If it is going to draw 457 and you have a 500W PSU, I would say that's a little close to the mark, but it does say on the sticker it can do 600W on peak pull, which should be OK.
Remember the GPU doesn't draw max power all the time.
It's a bit of a "yes it will work" but a newer PSU of 550W would be better....
I'd go for it and try the PSU you have now.

I agree with you, but also remember, there is some branded tat out there as well, such as this - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/antec-high-current-gamer-850w-psu,5578.html

@ElectrO_90 - true , thetbi,this though you can at least find reviews on the branded units & make an informed choice.

Udea?? Absolutely never heard of them .

Looking at the rails & cable layout I've got,a sneaky feeling its an fsp hexa inside there.
