well, considering the GPU shortage right now, I'd say a 1060 is worth closer to $200.
You asked if it was too low. I think it is, by at least $125.

Not the same official adapter that comes with FE, but there are some custom versions sold by third parties. Cablemod sells one for $30

Maybe a bit less, sub-$170. I sold a 1070 last month for ~$200, but it was a bit of a hassle to sell it for that price, and if I sold it for closer to market rate ($180-190) it probably wouldn't have taken over 2 weeks to sell.
It's only going to draw as much power as it needs to at any given time and it will not be constant. When you're idling, it won't pull much, when you're browsing the web, a tad more, and when you fire up a game and the GPU kicks in, it'll start really pulling power. Even then it will rarely, if ever, hit that maximum wattage.
In the recent weeks the GPU market has gotten so bad that a used 1070 for $200 is actually now a good deal
That's one of the solutions I tried yes. I think I got slightly better overall fps but the frame stutter is still there.
It's been my baby since 2012 as well. I'm still waiting on my 5900X to make my new build. Have everything else (except a new GPU) in place. My 3570k will stay a lighter task machine for the kids to use for school and games after I move on. I am really happy with it, but man I can't wait to move on from it to this new generation. Same for my 980ti. It's been good to me but...damn. It's time.
Cheers! I hope my room can handle the PSU XD
To add a bit of context, I live in Indonesia, so there are many "quirkiness" regarding our houses and electricity and stuff. AFAIK, middle-class houses usually only have a maximum wattage of 1300 watt. So my parents used to rent some of the rooms in my house, and they divided the wattage: 550 watts in total for the rented rooms and the rest for the main house. I currently stay in the formerly rented room, so I can't really buy PSU with a high wattage lol
Is there any preference for using one as the boot drive and other as storage from drives like this?
I'm guessing top boot, SSD files.
That WD Blue is actually SATA, not NVME. Get the SN750, Crucial P2/P5 or the Plextor M9Plus insteadIs there any preference for using one as the boot drive and other as storage from drives like this?

I always put games on my old build because the boot drive was the fastest drive period. never had any issues. I've just seen people warn against it in the past.
This really only applies to HDDs. No longer applicable with solid state drives. Similar to need to partition the drive for OS, media and etc.
I have two Sabrent Rocket 4.0 2TB SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration as my boot drive. 4TB of PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVME SSD storage. I install all of my games on to my C drive.
Not an issue. This is quite common on 20 and 30 series cards, most likely due to power management. In games anything >95% is fine.
Do you have a current GPU you could use until such time as a better one becomes available?
The only reason I dont do it is because if I ever have to reinstall windows I dont want to redownload all my games and media.
