Is a 550W PSU enough for this setup?

PSU (Greek Lang, use Google Translate): http://www.plaisio.gr/anavathmisi-diktia/anavathmisi/psu-trofodotika/Turbo-X-550W-Bulk-III.htm

 

for:

i5 7400

GTX 1060 6GB

12Gb Ram

[Lurick]

Why an i5 7400 over an R5 1500X?

Why 12GB of RAM?

[Colexd]

550w is more than enough but idk about that brand

Because I already have a B250M mobo+G4560 and I don't want to buy a new motherboard

Makes sense.

550W should be enough for the build  

[rx93]

you could use a 430w psu with that build and you would still be fine

[Herman Mcpootis]

550w is more than enough but that psu looks sketchy as hell. spend abit more and get a better psu.

unless you can find a reliable review of that particular psu that shows it's good, don't risk it. it is very possible for this to happen with bad power supplies:

You should get a 80+ certified psu

[BingoFishy]

Please get a better PSU. 65% is horrible, even 80% is borderline. Get something at last 80+ rated, ideally 80+ bronze or better.

80+ certification means jackshit in psu quality.

I have many friends who use Turbo-x PSUs for 3+ years and they never had a problem with it

just because a few power supplies don't go up in flames doesn't mean that psu is good. 

[Thermosman]

But 65% efficiency is very bad

Get something from evga or corsair

So that means this PSU can't handle this setup?

[Thermosman]

No

The wattage is fine But it is very inefficient

unless you want to risk setting your computer and house on fire, do the firemen a favour and just pony up for a better psu.

Yes, but not that 550W.

 

You should buy a  decent quality PSU like 400W be quiet Pure Power 10 but not that unknown thing...

Without a review with electronic loads and an oscilloscope, I don't believe that.
