[SOLVED] Will my PSU be enough?

Hello, since black friday is very close I decided that it would be nice if I got myself a gtx 1060 6gb.
I made my research and found out my motherboard is compatible, but I'm still not sure about my PSU.
If anyone can help, I got a delux ATX-450W P4 PSU - 230V/50Hz 4A.
Here's a picture i took if it helps: http://imgur.com/gallery/EiwKnkG

That PSU is so bad it may set fire to my computer just looking at it.

Buy a new PSU. The Corsair CX550M is more than enough and cheap these days.

No. As per the labelling, that PSU is 19A on the 12V = 228W. And that's best case. Poor quality, and probably a few years old too, degrading over time.

If you were upgrading a budget desk lamp, it might power it. Shiny new 6GB 1060? Not so much.
