How many watts PSU do I need?

[LightBringer]

I got an Intel i-5 4460 and I plan to upgrade my GPU to the GTX 1060 6GB OC (was GTX 750Ti) but my PSU is currently 430-450 watts, I cant remeber the exact amount.
other information

Motherboard: Mb Asus b85m-G R 2.0
8GB Ram
Windows 10
1Tb Harddrive
DVD/RW

Will my current PSU be good enough? If not, how much watts do I need?

A good quality 400w PSU would be fine.

Can you determine the make and model PSU you're using?

You're gonna want a quality 500W+ something that isn't junk and has multiple PCIE power connections. EVGA SuperNova series is decent.

If it's Corsair CX 430 then this would be fine. But if it's something that doesnt have 6+2 pin PCI-E power connector then swap it out.

It's a Raidmax 450 watt
Model: RX-450K

Just a point of reference, when my i5 650 3.2 GHz w/8 GB RAM was running a 116 watt GTX 550 Ti, my whole computer while doing graphic benchmarks used 206 watts max (measured AC input with Kill A Watt meter). Your CPU uses 11 watts more and GTX 1060 uses 4 watts more, so I am guessing that your PC would use about 221 watts.

So if your PSU has proper power connectors and is not way over rated, it should work fine.

PS: With 60 watt GTX 750 Ti my whole PC only uses 150 watts max input.

Kill it with fire. Or better yet nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

It's rubbish quality PSU and doesnt have 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors for graphics cards. Also you are lucky if it gives 350W, prob not even that and it's close to 300W.

Can I just get an answer please? It's so contradicting whether or not it's fine or not

The requirements for all the 1060s I've looked at are a 400w PSU for the system with 20 amps on the 12 volt rail. You're power supply isn't the greatest but it will work; you may need an 6 pin PCI power adapter cable.

My motherboard only had 4 pins strangely. While my power supple had 8. I just plugged half in and it's fine. Isn't that fine? Or do I really need an adapter this time

GTX 1060 uses depending on model either one 6-pin PCI-E connector or one 8-pin PCI-E connector. Your PSU doesnt have PCI-E connectors.
In principle it could be made to work with PCI-E to molex adapters but you need to also consider that there is pretty good chance your rubbish quality PSU would simply just keel over and die or in worst case scenario explode and short-circuit half your components.
It may worked ok with GTX 750 Ti because it's 60W card and doesnt use PCI-E connectors from PSU but if you put 120W GTX 1060 in there it might just push it over the edge.

I would strongly recommend swapping out the PSU instead of trying to play russian roulette with this one.

Any recommendations that are hopfully within a $70 range and compatible with my motherboard?

Would this work?

I linked the 520W version of this before but there is currently same price on 620W version, this can even run GTX 1080 no problem so you have options open for future.
Seasonic is good quality PSU brand.

Is the 620watt compatible for me? If so what adapters may I need it any

You won't need any with that new PSU. And yes it will work just fine.
