You can simply put your specs into a power supply calculator to see how much wattage you need http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/. Besides that a 500-600w modular power supply is the best for your needs, and buy from a decent name-brand like EVGA.

Quality of PSU is just as important as wattage. A good quality 500w would be perfect for your system. Not all 500w PSU's are the same, some cheap units are more like 350-400w fire hazards.

Suitable PSU for a system with a GTX 1060 has already been covered on THF:

This is a little old but still useful, find a tier 1 or 2 on offer near you http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
