Have a 1050 2GB rn, getting a GTX 1060 6GB OC Asus Dual in a few days.
CPU: i5-3550 3.3ghz
RAM: 2x4 DDR3
HDD: 320gb
SSD1: 64gb
SSD2: 128gb

My current PSU is a 280 watt, 80 PLUS Bronze, the question is should I upgrade my PSU for the new GPU or will I be good with the current one?
 
Solution
you should definitely be in the 350-400 watt area for a gtx 1060. I think my 1060 rig ran on a 450 watt. It's been awhile so I don't remember. If you plan to overclock definitely get a 450.

280W?!?!? What the heck?? Is this like a Dell or eMachine or something?

Yeah. Get a new PSU.
