430w for i5 6600 and gtx 1060?

[sjelicic65]

I'm planning to buy i5 6600(non-K), MSI 1060 Gaming X and 16gb of RAM. NOTE: im going to overclock gpu sometime!
The power supply that im interested is XFX TS 430w +80 bronze, I think tier 2.

Yes it can power those specs.​

Overclock the GPU is fine.​

A check shows that the MSI 1060 Gaming X needs a 8 pin pcie power connector.
That is more than the normal 6 pin connector required for GTX1060.

I think you should change your plans.
1. Buy a stronger psu.
2. Such a card comes already heavily factory overclocked. I would not count on getting more out of it.

Also - the GPU power draw doesn't go up linearly, it goes up exponentially. Besides, as noted with a factory OC card, they're already pretty close to the limits, and there's not a lot more room.
