Do I need a bigger psu

[dominator24]

I have a evga 500w white,will It be enough to power a GTX 1060 6gb,core i5 6500. If it's not enough what power supply do you recommend?

it will be enough

On paper, that unit has plenty of capacity to run that card. The capacity of the unit isn't the real question though. Whether or not that unit is CAPABLE of reliably sustaining the required power for that card is what you really want to know.

In order to determine that we need to know what the model of the PSU is. EVGA 500w white is not a model description. That's just a visual description. There are plenty of 500w units out there that I wouldn't use to power a light bulb, much less an expensive graphics card. And just saying it will be enough is a pretty useless statement when you have no idea what power supply he actually has.

The model number should be on a sticker or placard somewhere on the back or one of the sides of the power supply. Knowing that model will enable us to determine whether that power supply should be used with that graphics card, or not.

While I can assume you have the EVGA W1 500w unit, it would be helpful to know for sure which unit you have.

If that unit IS the EVGA W1-0500-KR 500w unit, then based on the available reviews it's probably good enough for that graphics card so long as it's not terribly old. That unit has been in production for quite a few years, so it could either be 6 months old, or 6 years. Clearly, older units, while perhaps quite capable when they were new, lose capacity as they age and if it is a fairly old unit having seen years of use already, I'd recommend protecting your expensive graphics card and other components, by replacing it with a newer high quality unit.
