i7-4790 3.6ghz. 8GB Ram. Corsair CX 430M PSU and GTX 750 1GB GPU.
I am thinking of upgrade my GPU to GTX 1060 from Evga when it come out in a few days. Will my PSU be able to run the GTX 1060 without problem ? Also, is it wise to buy those Superclocked or overclocked version when it come out or just stick with the original ? (I dont really know how the SC draw their power)
 
Solution
In principle, 430W is more than enough. In practice, the Corsair CX/CXM series are passable quality PSUs (tier four on the list) so you can expect to need to replace the CX 430 sooner then you would with the 750 which uses 10-30W less depending on the variant.

Almost identical to the one Im currently using: Corsair CX Series, CX430M, 430 Watt (430W), Semi Modular Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYORA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_s3nJxbRMXM6MM
Given the different is only 20W. Would mine strongly last ?
