Antec VP600P or VP650P - Which one should i buy?

Solution
Hyper 212 EVO is a crappy CPU cooler and if you get i7-7700K, it won't be enough to cool your hot running CPU. I'd go with Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 or any other big-sized CPU air cooler,

I have Arctic Freezer i32 cooling my i5-6600K, which is 2nd best mid-sized CPU cooler. And i don't think that my Freezer i32 would be enough to cool i7-7700K CPU, even when i run in push-pull configuration with 2 fans installed (as i'm currently running it on my Skylake build, full specs in my sig).

Though, for i5-7600K, the Arctic Freezer i32 in push-pull configuration would be a good choice,

Btw, i love the case you have. Not because it has great build quality but because how fancy it's looking. :D

As far as your PSU goes, i need to know which dedicated GPU you're planning to go with. If you're planning to go with RX 480, GTX 1060 or GTX 1070, the 600W PSU will do. But if you're planning to go with RX 580, GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti, 650W PSU would be better choice.

Though, when to be honest, your new system is high-end rig and i wouldn't use the mediocre quality (Tier three) Antec VP series PSU in it. The lowest build quality i'd be comfortable using in such a high-end rig would be good quality (Tier two) PSU,
PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

That being said and after looking around in Amazon India, i suggest you go for Seasonic M12II-750 EVO PSU,
amazon: http://www.amazon.in/Seasonic-M12II-750-Modular-Supply-Certification/dp/B00F4H8PHY

Seasonic M12II EVO series PSU is good quality, fully modular, 80+ Bronze certified PSU that comes with 5 years of warranty from Seasonic. 750W is more than enough for any single dedicated GPU you're planning to go with.

All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic. Got PRIME series in Skylake, M12II EVO series in Haswell and S12II series in AMD.

Great suggestion regarding PSU brother, awesome list. I would buy Nvidia 1060 6GB(Gigabyte G1 Gaming).

https://www.mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=68&product_id=4911

Considering the price difference, which one would you suggest :
SEASONIC M12II-750 EVO SMPS 750 WATT 80 PLUS® BRONZE = ₹8,740 = 135.187 US Dollar [5 years warrenty]
SEASONIC SMPS S12G 650W-NVIDIA SLI READY 80 PLUS GOLD = ₹8,300 = 128.38 US Dollar
SEASONIC S12II-620 -- S12II SERIES 620 WATT 80 PLUS® BRONZE = ₹6,230 = 96.36 US Dollar [5 years warrenty]
[Note : We have cheap electricity here in India :) ]

M12II is much too much costly. Seasonic S12II 620 Watt should be good and sufficient, Right?

There's a reason why i suggested M12II EVO series for you. It's because it's fully modular and cable management with it is a breeze.

S12G and S12II series PSUs are fully wired, giving you a great headache about cable management. Only difference between S12G and S12II series is, is that S12II is 80+ Bronze certified and S12G is 80+ Gold certified. To put it short, S12G series is more efficient than S12II series.

If you don't mind the leftover power cables with fully wired PSU, go with the one that fits your budget better.

Though, with GTX 1060 and i5-7600K/ i7-7700K, your system's total power consumption would be around 300W. 600W range PSU would be too much for it and you'd do fine with 500W range PSU, e.g Seasonic S12II-520,
amazon: http://www.amazon.in/Seasonic-S12II-520-Watt-Power-Supply/dp/B005O8PNSM

I can say from my own experience that S12II-520 is a good PSU to have (if you don't mind the leftover power cables). At some point in time, my 3 years old S12II-520 even powered my Skylake build for a while before i bought Seasonic PRIME 650 for it.
