Question PSU Guide

CoolerMaster's offerings aren't particularly great. They have some good units, but there's usually a premium attached vs other quality units available.

For a system with an 8700 + 1060, a quality 450W unit would be more than capable.

CX450 would be sufficient. Focus+450 would be my preference, but the CX450 is cheaper - and the CX650 is available for ~$50. It's overkill, but a great deal.

A i7 with a 1060 seems overkill for gaming, but maybe you're doing something different.

Decent 450-550W is enough. and like another person recommended, I'd go with the CX450

Thank you for the quick replies !
Before was reading the forums here and the Corsair got good reviews. I just got confused by the PSU. I will be going with the CX650 to have room to improve in the future hopefully also the price range between the CX450 and CX650 is not big so would be better to trow some extra bucks.
Thank you again. :)
