It'll be fine. The TDP is always lower than the actual electrical power requirement but since you can't OC that CPU I'm fairly certain 450W will suffice.

Apparently you are going to need an extra 8 pin power connector though.

I assume you'll be putting in an HDD as well because the SSD is only 120GB. You're system will consume about 310W. You'll be fine.

Hmmmm well my Bequiet power 2 400watt SFX PSU hasn't blown up yet with a 1060 6GB and i5 6400 so it's probably fine ;) 

 

A 1060 consumes roughly 120 watts and a i5 6500 would consume about 50 watts so...if we include system wattage such as the motherboard and drives, a 300watt PSU would be fine (disregarding how I wouldn't recommend that). 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What? As I said, there seriously is nothing here :)

you mean the system total?

Yes.  But don't get any psu less than 450w as they tend to be crappy

is 450 watt enough for the build below?

because the 1060's all say a minimum of 500 is required.

A 1060 and i5 will never use more than 200W under any circumstances. Don't bother using PSU calculators either - they're garbage.

 

A Corsair CX450M or Seasonic S12/M12 would be my choice for you. You don't need anything fancy.

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