Any  QUALITY 500w or higher power supply will work fine.

 

GTX 1060 uses up to 120 watts, the processor up to 60-80 watts, the motherboard with the memory sticks and fans up to 25 watts or so, and all the other crap will use less than 50 watts... basically system should use less than 250w but a 500w psu will give you reserves should you ever upgrade.

 

Seasonic, EVGA , Corsair, Superflower make good power supplies  aim for higher end bronze efficiency or gold efficiency power supply. I guess it depends on your budget.  Don't buy the cheapest bronze efficiency ones.

That PSU is good.

 

I changed your drives around so they actually make sense now.

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

How about these:

https://seasonic.com/product/ssp-650-rt-active-pfc-f3/

https://seasonic.com/product/ss-600-et-active-pfc-f3/

 

I wonder what the difference in quality between consumer and industrial is specifically with Seasonic.  Usually, it´s a night and day difference as in "designed and built to break" and "designed and built to not ever break even under heavy usage".

i am wondering what psu i should get Here is my parts list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Andy_gatts_510/saved/PfPK8d

 

Get the V550 instead, the 650W is useless for your setup

Seasonic power supplies will last.

 

The "industrial" models have more boring cases (gray, no paint) , no sleeving on the cables, they're not modular and may have slightly shorter cables. The fan may also be a bit noisier with higher rpm to cool internals better , because they assume the computers may be either in racks where noise don't matter or in environments that have more dust or heat compared to regular computer power supplies.

They'll last their warranties and even exceed them.

 

The Seasonic Prime series is great but you really don't need that high end. There's also a Seasonic Focus Plus series which just launched that has gold efficiency and very good quality and should be cheaper : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151189
