I have recently bought a PC with a PSU which didn't have enough 6 pin to drive my GTX 1060. So i am currently looking for an upgrade to my PSU. I have looked a´corsair 650W. But i am unsure if it will be compatible with my ASUS ROG STRIX B250H GAMING motherboard, or if it has enough pins to drive my GTX 1060? What do you think?

CORSAIR PSU VS Series 650W Power Supply
 


It is compatible and has a nice strong 12V rail capable of supporting up to the 1080Ti. The 1060 allong with a full system won't challenge it in the least. A 550W PSU is plenty for a system with the 1060, RAM and CPU OC'd along with a 4 or 5 drives and a full tower case with 5 or 6 fans.

And will there be enough pins to fill out both the ASUS ROG STRIX B250H GAMING Motherboard and the GTX 1060? Because the GTX 1060 uses 6-pins
 


It does. There are 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe connectors dedicated to just the gfx card.

There is a 4+4 EPS connector which can also be an 8 pin ATX 12V Power connector. Some have unfortunately seen 8 pins on their GFX card and matched it up with the other 8 pin connector(4+4 CPU). The keys are shaped different but they persevered and jammed it in there. Then they came here asking if they just fried their motherboard. The cables will be marked too.CPU, PCIe, Sata etc..

Should you one day decide you want to install a AIO cooler such as the H100i it has the connections for that(CPU fan and pump).

It is compatible.
