Using a CX500 with a 1060 card isn't recommended. That PSU (even brand new) is underpowered for that card.

Using an older PSU would also not likely work unless it was a really HQ one.


As far as what PSU to try going forward:

"Power supplies have roughly doubled in price due to the current trade war. Cheap PSUs are now pricey and good ones are very pricey. Its recommended to get an 80+ Gold (or better) PSU with a 7 to 10 year warranty. While not an absolute sign of quality, long warranties are indicative of the manufacturers confidence in their product. Currently this includes the Seasonic Focus and Focus Plus Gold lines, Corsair TMx, RMx 2018 and RMx 2019 lines, and EVGA Supernova G1/2/3 lines."
