Hi,

 

I am wanting to get a GTX1060 STRIX edition for my PC, but I am worried I will not be able to power it. Here are my specs:

 

AMD 7850K @ 3.7Ghz

MSI A88XM-E35

8GB DDR3 RAM @ 2133Mhz

Cooler Master Seidon 120V V2

1TB HDD @ 7200RPM

1 x Corsair 140mm SP fan

 

I have an NZXT hue+ lighting kit in my system too.

 

My PSU is a Corsair CS450M.

 

I plan on getting the non OC version of the STRIX.

 

Will I be able to properly power everything in my system?

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

You're fine and your PSU is of sufficient enough quality for a 1060.

 

Your CPU bottlenecks, on the other hand....

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
