Get a power supply thats within tier 1,2 or 3 of this list:

Looks like a fire hazard. There is no 1060 Ti. 

Looking at PCPP FR, get the Pure Power 10 400W. 

[mariushm]

Judging by the label, it can probably output around 350 watts on 12v - it shows 19A on each 12v rail, but most often the total is less than the sum of those two rails, so for example it's not 2 x 19A, it's probably something like 2x15A = 30A on 12v ... so 12v x 30A = ~360w

 

There is some power reserved for 3.3v and 5v, usually around 100-120 watts so if you add 120 watts to 360w on 12v and around 10-15w for 5v standby and -12v, you arrive to the total of 500w they advertise.

 

The gtx 1060 uses up to around 100-120 watts, the cpu and the rest of your system probably doesn't go above 100 watts when gaming, so overall your system won't use more than around 200w. That would indicate the power supply would be suitable and work just fine, but nevertheless it's a somewhat no-name brand. It would be better if you could get a power supply from a brand name with at least a 80+ bronze rating (it's a minimum sort of quality guarantee), even if the power supply is rated for lower power like only 450w.

The issue with no-name/unknown PSUs is there's a lack of information and reviews.  It could easily be missing fail-safes that a good PSU should have, or even be faking its specs/80+ rating.

At face value, its specs are a tad suspect (not great 12v rails, probably not a real 600w).  It may be a rebrand of this cougar (not sure): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553019

Would not buy.

Quality is not good, so you should get something else.

 

Since you are in France, you should be able to get a Pure Power 10 or Straight Power 11 if you want to pay for it.

400W is enough w/o OC.

[jackthehack]

i am not in france i live in Algeria and this product i found here so i went googling it 

as for other psu i couldn't find any this is the only decent one i could find 

should i go for it

[breixobaloca]

No, you should never get a dangerous and low-quality PSU. No online store where we can look for a good unit?

[Guest]

That is a horrible PSU.  Please dispose of it at your nearest recycling center.

You're assuming they're being truthful about the specs.  

 

You can already see they're not.  Nevermind the fact that they're selling a PSU that may be 500W (I doubt it) with a 600W model number, the PSU is 200-240VAC input, but it has a standard 80 PLUS Bronze logo.

 

230V only PSU, >>IF<< it was actually 80 PLUS Bronze would have the 80 PLUS Bronze 230V EU logo.  

 

There are a handful of 500W 80 PLUS Bronze 230V EU PSUs on the ECOVA website, but from what I can tell this isn't one of them.

 

Even if it's NOT 80 PLUS certified:  You're looking at an old design, 230V only, double forward PSU without DC to DC.  It's just the cheapest possible product you can put out in the EU and not get sued by a government agency.

Yeah, I hopped in this thread roughly around the time it was posted, maybe a bit after, saw people had answered exactly how I would, then dropped out.

 

It may suck but I promise you, if someone can engineer something this bad it can be made worse.
