I currently have a 500w psu (cant remember exact model) and im using an fx-8350 and a gtx 950. So the question is would i need a new psu if im getting a gtx 1060 6gb?

Aslong as its a good quality unit, 500 watts would be enough.

If it's a decent quality unit then sure, keep it. What PSU is it?

Ah, nah definitely get a new PSU. The Essential is pretty low-end.

Yes, that's plenty for an overclocked 1080 system. The 1060 is a 120W card
