Check here before buying any PSU. The lower the tier the better. Anything above tier 3 or not mentioned are terrible.

 

This, to save money

 

This, for modular cables.

 

These picks take a graphics card upgrade in mind.

by "lower", I meant "smaller number"

you can also check jonnyguru.com for really thorough PSU tests

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Iirc that PSU is the same series as the Antec VP***P units. Not a spectacular unit but it should be capable of powering your 1060. 700W is plenty overkill though. Is a Corsair CX450 in your budget/available where you live?

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