Defintiely some overkill here. You're using a 750w power supply for one GPU. You are using a H270 for an unlocked processor. You have a 120GB SSD. This build is pretty unbalanced. If yo

Not sure where you are shopping from to get those prices, but you can use this as a guide.

Nah mate , the cxm 450 will handle that easily.
Your original build list is all from aria ??? (By the look of the screen shot)
I'd go ryzen personally , I just don't see the market for an i5 now at all.
If you're dead set on intel then just make it a locked i7 7700 with a half decent b250 board.
The 7600k just ain't that good value once you factor in a decent cooler.
That list is coming out at around £1100 inc vat ??

As madmatt30 put it, 450 is just fine. The GTX 1060 isn't going to be sucking that much power..total usage is under 350...so an extra 100 watts is just nice headrom. I would also go with Ryzen myself, but Intel does offer better gaming performance...if you are strictly gaming. If you are more of an all-around guy, then a nice 1600 would do you just fine.

Did not provide SSD as the performance you gain from GTX1070 over GTX1060 is a lot. Here the performance gain is huge compared to what you get from SSD.
