I just recently upgraded my PC with a EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC video card. Found out my previous PSU wasn't good enough. Decided to purchase a Cosair CX450 450W (2017).

My next big purchase will be an Oculus Rift. Will the Cosair be enough to power everything up?

CPU: Intel i5 7600k
GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC
RAM: 16GB Geil Super LUCE 3000
PSU: Corsair CX450 (2017)
MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE
 
Solution
The Oculus Rift is powered by a few USB ports, meaning it could pull around 15W at the very most (likely a lot less). If your computer runs fine with that PSU now, it will likely run the same with the Oculus Rift.
