Hello all, I'm about to complete my new gig, here are the components I have in mind, I'll be purchasing all of them at once from my retailer some time this week.

Intel i5-7600k
Gigabyte z-270 HD3
Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 3000MHz
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
CoolerMaster K280 500W

I'm thinking about getting a GTX 1060 and had the MSI 6GT OCV in mind, but the ASUS TURBO went on a great sale just yesterday on my store and is now cheaper. I've read and heard I should get the cheapest 1060 possible as they are all similar in performance, so should I go for it? I also couldn't find the length of it and am afraid it might not fit in the CM K280? Also will the 500W PSU included in the K280 be enough?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I'm aware of the blower situation, but have read that the temps don't go too high compared to a 2-fan card like the MSI 6GT OCV. As for loudness, I honestly couldn't care less as I'm used to loud cards and will have surround sound anyways.
