Is my PSU the right Size

[BarnacleBOY]

I've always struggled with selecting the right sized PSU for a computer. It's something I can't seem to understand. I've tried the online calculators for my current build (which you will see below) and it says my current PSU is too small...yet my pc is running just fine.

I'm looking to Upgrade from my GTX680 to a GTX1060 6GB card (More than likely the Gigabyte G1 Gaming). So I guess my questions are as follows:
Is my EVGA 600W too small?
If I change from a 6pin to a 8pin connector, will I have power issues for my GPU?
Do I need to go for a smaller card or upgrade my PSU with my GPU?

I look forward to your responses!

Regards,

The 1060 uses far less power than the 680 so you're safe. Unless your PSU is old and sounds like a lawnmower on an open veld.
You could probably SLi the 1060 and it'll still be OK with 600watts.

I just did a calc with a core i7 3770 and an SLi config of the 1060 and it resulted in this
Load Wattage:380 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:430 W
Even a 1080ti only pushes the demands to 444watts (non Sli).

Why do people want huge PSUs? Mining rigs aside.

^^What he said.

A 600W PSU is about perfect for any single card, non-overclocked system. Even the factory overclock setting on your 1060 won't cause a problem.
If you had a 3770k and were trying to squeeze every last Mhz out of it and your GPU then I might recommend a 750, but even then your 600W would probably be fine.

Bear the age of your PSU in mind though. I don't know what exact model of PSU you have but my rule of thumb is to trade them out a year or two before the warranty ends.
