Is this PSU good enough for my specs?

[AndersGjerde]

I dont really understand those PSU calulators, so is there anyone that could help me with this? Im upgrading from an old graphics card to a gtx 1060. I'm currently using this PSU: Corsair CX500, 500W

My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150
Motherboard: MSI B85M-E45, Socket-1150
RAM: DDR3 12 GB 1600 mhz
Samsung DVD writer SH- 224DB
SSD: Crucial M500 2.5" 120 GB
Upgrading to GTX 1060 as GPU

(Yes, i know the GTX 1060 would bottleneck my CPU but it is just temporarily)

Will the 500W PSU be enough or should i upgrade it?

Yes, it's enough. But that's a low (4th) tier PSU.

Not terrible, but not exactly what you want running your rig if better can be had for the same or less money.

Like this 620w SeaSonic for $5 less (in the USA). A 2nd tier PSU, with more wattage and more amps, and better build quality, though still being bronze, in comparison.

Edit: Reread your post; you already have the CX500. Like I said, it's good enough, but it's not exactly recommended for higher quality builds.

500w is more than enough.

Thank you 😀

500W works just fine.
You can always verify with PCPartPicker and make sure.
