Can you increase the clock speed of your GTX 1060 and I5 4460 using only a small Crosair CX500 power supply? You're also considering adding liquid cooling and LED strips later.

The Corsair CX series is a low-cost line and usually not suitable for high-end systems like those with a 1060. Still, why would you want to overclock? Your PC can handle most games at the highest settings in 1080p.

I agree. My old gaming setup uses an HD 6970 with a higher power draw compared to the GTX1060, and it has an overclocked E9550 Core 2 Quad running on a 500W power supply.
