is the EVGA 600 Watt 80+ Bronze enough to power a gtx 1660 ti mini itx from gigabyte with a intel core i5-6400?
planinng to upgrade, but have no idea if this new psu will be enough with the new gpu and old cpu

GV-N166TIXOC-6GD is the new gpu im planning to install, it needs an 8pin, but when i check online the evga 600 watt 80+ bronze either has a 8pin PCIe or doesn't on some websites.

Which EVGA model exactly? At 600 watts yes it will be enough but depending on model there might be better options out there.

There are some good EVGA models, and some not. I think the G2 and G3 are the preferred models for EVGA. A lot of others are . . uh . . not so good.

Check out the first link in my sig.

Looks like the BR is among the models to be avoided.

Although 600w is fine, EVGA BR 600w is not a very good quality PSU. I would not recommend that model for a 1660ti. I would look for a Corsair CX550 for that system.

Just an FYI, an I5 6400 will not be strong enough for an 1660ti at 1080p. May have high CPU usage.
