gtx 1060 power needed

Solution
Please do not run a GTX 1060 with a 300 watt OEM power supply. You are courting trouble. You absolutely need to upgrade your power supply.

It is not modular but it's still a very nice power supply, especially for the money.

Addendum: Since you stated "mini" am I correct in assuming that you're looking at either the Gigabye or Zotac brands? Any particular reason why you're opting for the mini? Are you installing this in a mini ITX case? If not then I suggest that you step up to a EVGA 1060 SC Gaming 6 GB (or some other brand) that has a 100 MHz higher base clock.

Would need to know the exact model and specs of your PSU. In theory, 300W is enough for an i5-6400 + GTX 1060 (cutting it kinda close though), but just because the PSU says 300W on the side doesn't mean it can be trusted to safely and reliably output that much. I wouldn't run a GTX 1060 off that PSU.

Also, if it's in the budget, buy the 6 GB version, not the 3 GB. The 3 GB version has a somewhat cut down architecture. Nvidia should not have marketed it as a GTX 1060, since it's technically a modified card, beside the memory difference.
