Will 500W power supply be enough for GTX1060 and AMD FX8350?

[Suseika]

Here is my current rig:

- AMD FX8350 CPU;
- Nvidia 8800GT video card;
- Zalman ZM500-LX power supply;
- Asus 980 DE3 U3/S3 motherboard

I'm planning on buying a GTX 1060 video card instead of the 8800GT, but I'm concerned if my power supply is enough for 1060, given that FX8350 is also quite demanding.

Should my power supply be enough for that?

That is not a very good power supply, the GTX 1060 Draws only 15 more watts of power than the 8800 GT.
8800GT 105 watts.

GTX 1060 120 Watts.

Purely in terms of power, a 550w PSU is plenty for that setup. However the PSU you currently have isn't a great unit. So I can't speak for the quality of power coming out of that and if it'll support the slightly higher draw the 1060 will have over the 8800GT.

I don't see 15 watts being a catastrophe.
