I own an i7 6800k and plan to boost its performance. I aim for 4.4ghz at 1.4 volts or 4.5ghz at 4.85 volts, using a Gigabyte GTX 1060 (G1 Gaming Edition). I’ll also overclock the GPU and enable OC mode. Will a 550 watt PSU suffice to run all these parts? Here are my PC specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BVtfd6. It looks like the power requirement is only 419 watts, though I’m not sure if that’s accurate from the site. Thanks ahead!

Given the amount of hardware and the overclocking, it's wise to prioritize stability by upgrading to a more reliable PSU than what you currently have. The EVGA Supernova 650 appears to be a suitable choice for your setup and needs.

Given the hardware and the overclocking, it's wise to opt for extra safety by choosing a slightly improved PSU instead of what you currently have. For my setup, the EVGA Supernova 650 looks like a more suitable choice.
