Is the Evga 500B enough for the GTX 1060 6GB?

[KNB_Kevin]

Hello,

I'm building my first PC and I want to start buying the parts, but I'm not sure that the Power Supply will be enough. The power supply that I'm looking is the Evga 500B. If it helps, this is the part list that I picked: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KyPWvV

Thanks!

Its more than enough. I have an EVGA 500W (not even the bronze model, just the "80+" model) happily powering an i7-4790k and GTX 1060 6GB. I've had it for two years and its been swapped around to a PC with two GTX 950s in SLI to a GTX 1070 to this current PC. Even the cheapest EVGA power supplies are not junk by any stretch. Regardless, the GTX 1060 only calls for a 400W power supply. Its not going to put that much of a strain on most any 500W unless its complete no-name garbage.

I have a gtx 1070 on a 400w psu. Sure it will be very good.

I cutted a lot of in terms of price. I swapped for the newer i5 7600k. EVGA cards are the best. One fan does the job perfectly and runs at the same temperature. Here is my proposition. : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zzxvtJ
