Need advice on picking a suitable PSU on a tight budget?
I'm facing challenges picking the right power supply for my setup.
My system includes an i5-2400 3.1Ghz processor, 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, 320GB + 1TB storage drives, and a ZOTAC GTX 1060 6Gb AMP edition.
The motherboard is basic, just an LGA 1155 board with only two fans.
Hello there! I'm just starting out here. Where are you from? Do you have a favorite place to buy things? What's your budget like? And what is your computer model and brand? If your setup is a prebuilt system, let me know before you start looking for a power supply.
I am based in South Africa. My budget is about R1000, which is roughly $55. It is a pre-build system.
Your area and financial constraints restrict your choices, in contrast to other regions. For your review:

I don't really focus on wattage since I already purchased a non-branded PSU rated at 500 watts, but I'm uncertain whether it's the right choice. It lacks a 6-pin PCIe cable and only has dual 4-pin Molex connectors.
I genuinely had several choices, but I believed it wouldn't be sufficient for the high rating, and others mentioned it's preferable to look at bronze and higher options.
