Would a Corsair 550w PSU be good for my Intel Xeon PC with a GTX 1060?

[DReason479]

I'm having issues with my PC that may be because of my PSU (PC crashes to black screen). The PSU is 3 years old now and came in the pre-built Dell Precison T3610 PC, as did the Intel Xeon E5-1607 3.00 GHz CPU. The PSU that I currently have is 675w and I've read that the GPU only needs about 400w.

So would the Corsair CP-9020097 550w PSU be ok? I'm on a bit of a budget so I want to spend as little, but as reasonable as possible

Here's an Amazon link to the PSU:

The GPU does take roughly 400W, but there are other parts that you need to take into account. Your CPU alone uses 130W.
Add that and its 530W. Take into account your other parts (they may only use ~50-10W each, but you should have a good 50-100W difference between your usage and power supply)
I would get this:

Its almost double the price but alteast you won't have any issues.

It isn't a good quality unit, I wouldn't buy it. Don't cheap on a PSU, it's arguable the most important part of a build.

What is your whole build's specifications? I doubt the GPU uses 400w.

I've read that the recommended PSU for a system with the gtx 1060 is 400w (That's what it says on the Nvidia Geforce website)

Dell Precision T3610
GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 SC
RAM: 8GB
HDD: 1TB
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1607 3.00 GHz
PSU: 675w
OS: Windows 10

I'm not sure what the actual model or brand is for the motherboard/PSU/Ram, as they all came with the pre-built PC.

I did, however, download a software called "CPU-Z", which gives more information about the hardware in the Pc and it says that:

The motherboard was manufactured by Dell and it's Model number is 09M8Y8 and the chipset says "Intel" - "Ivy Bridge-E"

The Ram is 8Gb and is DDR3, but it doesn't say whether it's DDR3-1866 or DDR3-1333 - It's DRM Frequency is roughly, 797.8 MHz. Based on what this software says, it's one stick of 8Gb ram. And the serial number is 2F14EDB5 . It also says that the Max bandwidth is PC3-12800 (800Mhz) - I don't know if this means anything.

Would this EVGA 600w PSU be ok?

I've checked some of the reviews and questions/answers and people say they can run a gtx 1060 just fine, some even have a gtx 1070.

Also would it fit into my PC case because it's quite a small case, but the PSU currently in PC is quite long?

The manufacturer recommends 400w for a system containing the GTX 1060, and they base that off the worse case scenario. You system will likely stay under 350w at load. The card itself stays under 150w while gaming.

You'd be alright with a quality 450w unit, or a 550w for comfortable headroom and expansion abilities.

The EVGA W1 PSUs offer sub mediocre performance and quality. It isn't crap, but it is close to it. Try for either a Corsair CX450M/CX550M/CX650M or a Seasonic S12ii.
