I'm gonna use a intel core I5 and a msi geforce 1060 gaming x 6gb
How many watts do i need?

400W+ will do. max draw is <100+120+50 <300

General sys reqs for 1060 state 450w, but such specs are always stated conservatively due to varying quality of PSUs. What you really want to go by is the amps. A 1060 needs a PSU with 22 amps output.

A lot of 400w PSUs have way more than 22 amps. This Corsair for instance has 32 amps. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139198
