Need advice on a PSU for a budget gaming PC I'm building:

Specs:
CPU - i5 7500 Kaby Lake
MOBO - Asus Prime Z270-K
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHZ
SSD - Kingston 120 GB
HDD - Seagate Baracuda 1TB
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB ARMOR OCV1
Case - Corsair SPEC 01

PS: I'll take any advice on the components listed above.

see this unit [not to say its the best just as example ]

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/SuperNOVA_G2_650/2.html

under the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 Power Specs graph


see how at full load it just drops to 649 of the true 650w ??? its a true 650w unit

why I never recommend any thing under a 650w for anything more then light office or household use . it may say its a 500w unit but in real life it maybe just at best a lot less


I agree I would have to pass on that xfx unit

I saw this thread before, but its not the model i'm looking for, thank you anyways!
 
well one thing to look at is w/v=a so 500w divided by 12v = 41.6 amps on a single 12v+rail psu . so if you see a 500w and the 12v+ is kinad off from that I call it suspect [ that goes for any PSU of any watt]

this was the one I referred to in my first post

you know another thing I see is XFX power supplies are no longer being sole like at newegg or not listed anymore ??? maybe they ran in to a problem and got out of the PSU market ??

not any sold at newegg anymore makes me wonder whats up there ??

even pcparts picker
