Hello I'm wondering if 700W Raidmax RX-700AC-B thus is a good psu?
And if it is good is 700W enough for gtx 1060 i5 7500 and led strips. Should I go for the 600W bronze/gold one or buy this one. There was also a very cool looking one with RGB which was 535W is that enough? (sorry for my bad engliah I'm not a native speaker) :)
 
Solution
Wouldn't touch a Raidmax PSU. They are low quality and have a bad reputation for a reason. The PSU is a crucial component and a bad place to skimp on quality. A system with a i5 7500 and a GTX 1060 can easily and reliably run on a good 450w PSU. I'd take a high quality 450w unit over a low quality 700w unit for those specs any day.

The reference GTX 1060 will run on a 400W, but the PSU will be hitting above its efficiency range when stressed. I'd go good quality 500W for some headroom. Especially since most 3rd party cards have a factory OC and push the wattage up a bit more.
