Hey, I just ordered a new GTX 1060, but need to upgrade my power supply for it.  I just want to make sure this one is sufficient and won't explode or anything before I buy it.  Thanks!  https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495698432&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+500+B1%2C+80%2B+BRONZE+500W+Power+Supply

quality is mediocre. get an s12ii instead, similar price but far better.

It should be fine for a 1060 but a Seasonic S12 430W for like $10 more would be a better choice.

Thanks for the help!  I went with the Seasonic S12 520W since it was a little cheaper than the 430W one.
