depends on what your specs are fully detailed specs.

Since we are talking about Antec here,
400W is tight for GTX1060 with no free room at all, assuming you have the usual component loads e.g. having only max 2 HDD, etc. Basically, it depends on your full specs.
It could work during full load but not guaranteed for continuous operation.
It is also not exactly recommended to really push the PSU near 100% load all the time.
Yes, good brands like Antec usually do put reserve/safety factor perhaps 10% extra power rating to what they actually wrote. However, it is still a gamble.
If you want to be on the 100% safe side, I would, get a new PSU with at least 450-500W.
You can also try to run GTX1060 with your current PSU, with risks of course.

If we are talking about no-name PSU, I would have already written...ditch your PSU! from the beginning.
