Determine the required wattage for a 1060 6G after overclocking.
Determine the required wattage for a 1060 6G after overclocking.
Was thinking to ask some help from yah guys. I want to build my very first (Desktop Gaming PC) and was wondering how much wattage will I need if I want to (overclock) my NVidia GTX 1060 6G and will be helpful if yah guys have any pointers that will make my system run better I'm currently working on a 2,000$ budget and this is what I liked and picked out for it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/. If yah guys think it needs anything else please feel free to comment

Thank you my regards!
The PSU can only deliver up to 480w at 12v. It doesn't have great quality (just acceptable), and I think you should invest more in both the build and hardware for this budget. The PSU is crucial for the system, so cutting costs here isn't wise. I recommend considering a Bitfenix whisper M, Corsair RMx, EVGA G2, or EVGA G3. Also, you might want to spend a bit less on the motherboard.
Ryan Smith's setup featuring an overclocked GTX 1060 and Intel Core i7-4960X @ 4.2GHz consumed around 295w during intense gaming sessions. Thanks to the PSU's efficiency, the real power draw is closer to 265w. Your system should comfortably function with a 450w unit. A 550w unit would provide ample headroom and meet your needs even after future upgrades. Focus on choosing a high-quality PSU, provided it exceeds 450w.
Oh sure, regarding the Nvidia GTX 1070, I usually go with the GTX 1060 6G because it's more affordable and meets my needs for 1080p gaming. The biggest expense for me right now is the monitor and the motherboard. The GTX 1060 6G provides sufficient power for 1080p or higher, which is enough for 2K gaming without needing extra upgrades. A 520-watt unit should be more than adequate for overclocking and enjoying the experience? You can check this list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list
I have a CPU-Intel Core i7-7700K at 4.2GHz with four cores, a CPU cooler from Thermaltake, a water-based RGB liquid cooler, an Asus motherboard, RAM from G.Skill, an SSD from SanDisk, a GPU from Asus, a case from NZXT, a power supply from SeaSonic, and a monitor from Asus. I also have a 520W S12II power supply with Bronze certification. What additional components would I need? If you're looking for a better GPU, the current one should suffice. Is the 520W enough to run the system if I decide to overclock it? Also, do I require extra fans or cooling solutions for optimal performance? Thank you for your help.
