Tell use your psu model. because 450 is enough for GTX 1060 but it better be not a crappy psu.

960 and 1060 are both rated at the same power usage, so no need to upgrade to a higher watt PSU unless you want extra headroom for future upgrades.

Have you considered getting an SSD for the system and a few programs? I'm sure you can get a 120 GB for great price. I'd personally wouldn't go below 240 GB though, but just installing WIndows on an SSD is a night and day difference for the better.

You might want to really upgrade that PSU and then after your GTX 1060, you might want to upgrade the CPU.

I have placed a bid on a 240gb SSD, I will upgrade my PSU to save me worrying about it in future.

The CPU is fine currently, Id decide to upgrade it when it becomes very outdated

If the PSU works with a GTX-960, it will work with a GTX-1060, which normally uses less power. (The power "spec" may be the same, but the 1060 actually uses less.)

 

Other upgrades:

An SSD, of course.

Zen.
