Will This PSU power this GPU?

Depending on the rest of your PC, that PSU (can't vouch for quality though eVGA should be good) should handle the GTX1660 easily enough....

It's enough, but it's a dumpster fire of a PSU. All of EVGA's non-certified and 80+ grey PSUs are ones you shouldn't buy, period.

Never get less than a Tier B for a gaming PC. Ever. A dirt-cheap PSU has a higher chance of failing and killing your components, as the failure can easily send a fatal amount of electricity through it.

DO NOT BUY THAT PSU

EVGA N1 - N2 = Tier E - Dangerous in multiple scenarios
I'm no Linus fan boi, but if his team state it's dangerous, I would be inclined to believe him.

I have it powered on right now, its working fine with my RX 470 for a year. hasnt done anything or sounded weird. its really quiet (https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1496300356).

heres my PC part picker build. ignore the CPU, pc part picker doesnt have my xeon listed...

If you have the EVGA N1 installed in your system, forget looking at a new GPU, replace the PSU asap, looking at some of the reviews for it, not only are you putting all the other components in your case at risk, worst case you are risking your home, do some reading, there's more than a few cases of these things blowing up.

so you want an awnser from us and expect us to search for all necessary information to provide an educated awnser because youre to lazy to provide the information yourself?
IMO it a token of respect and normal behavior to delivier the required information to the ppl that try to help you instead of asking them to search for them out of lazyness.

low quality PSU's dont sound weired nor does it mean that they wont run. They just have a higher tendency to fail and if they fail mostly no protection. This then most time kills your entire PC and not just your PSU.
For a GTX 1660 a 500W PSU is sufficient even with HEDT CPU's or Xeon Phi's.

I would look at a quality psu that is 80+ gold certified and modular.

Such as models from Corsair, Evga, SeaSonic, SuperFlower that meets such minimums as I listed.

Don't cheap out on your PSU. Electricity is dangerous.

What are the chances of it failing? I owned this PSU for a year, and works completely fine. RX 470's ( currently installed) require 450 wattage, same goes with the 1660. I even seen people use 1070's and using a i7-6700K with this power supply. As long its booting up my motherboard's bios, i feel like i really shouldnt worry about it blowing up

The components inside are low quality and more prone to fail. With something that is tasked to supply a specific amount of power to your components, that carries a lot of risk

Cheaping out on a PSU is one of the worst things you can do in a build

by fail, you mean black screen lock ups (then the pc suddenly restarts with no display which makes me have to do a hard reset)?

Eh, ill be safe and get this then: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRW2K79?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

The PSU does have a higher chance, however it is a very low chance still. Just because 100/100,000 of them fail within the first year doesn't mean it's a bad PSU. I still would recommend getting a better one.

No, fail as in the unit dies. In the event of a fatal power failure, the PSU can also send a fatal amount of power to connected components.

I would highly recommend getting a better one too.
