Yes, both would be good pairing with your system. (You've mentioned 1060 in title and 1050 in the post ;). However, you would definitely need a new power supply as the one you currently have is a little shady from what I can tell regardless of it having PCIe connectors. A 500w bronze from a reputable brand would suffice.

Thanks for the reply
Yeah teh title was a mistype but I dont seem able to change it :(

I am not so experienced at this stuff, why o sone 599 W PSU better than another?
 
The quality of components used in cheaper PSUs aren't very good. Quite bad actually, hence the price. Sometimes they can even fry components, so it's best to upgrade the PSU with the GPU.

Quality of parts, hence price in some cases. The PSU is the heart of a PC and standard recommendation is spend as much as you can on a quality part. Raidmax seem to have some terrible reviews. Can't really go wrong with the ones sold by OCUK.
Andi.
 
The psu is just rubbish. HardOCP gave it a fail in their review of it. I won't go into a lecture about why you should never skimp on the psu as I have already had one shock of someone running a pc with a £660 1080ti in it off a psu that cost less than £30 on here today. Just read the review and you will see why you should replace it.
