i have the ASUS STRIX GTX 1060 6GB im going to buy a new cpu, motherboard and ram.
my psu is coolermaster B600 W
i want to use OC on it i thought about getting the i5-7600k with the motherboard PRIME-Z270-P
and the cooler Arctic Cooling Freezer i32.
what do you guys think will that run good and smooth?
or do you guys have a better offer within the same budgets?

If you go to pcpartpicker to your build and look almost at the top right you will see a lightning symbol with a number next to it. That's roughly what wattage it will use. Just follow my link. I added a 1080ti so you could see the results.

Here's something for you to play around with. Change what you like. The point is I would get a less expensive motherboard and use the savings to get a cooler. Also the Psu isn't very good, you might take out expensive components if something goes wrong. For gaming and overclocking you want a good quality Psu. I put in a gold rated one but a good quality bronze rated Psu would work.

thank you for helping but will that PSU be enough for a gtx 1080TI with i7 7700k on OC? i just want to get a better one in case. or is this one enough? : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438094&cm_re=EVGA_SuperNOVA_650_G3-_-17-438-094-_-Product&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-VigLink-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6163319&SID=j2nig0lcin012tl200053
also can you change to another motherboard with more known companies maybe? like Asus Gigabyte Msi etc.. sorry for bothering about it i just want something that i know and everyone does :D
also is it really okay ordering these components from afar? i live in israel what if something breaks on the way wouldnt it be hard to change it and do i even get the privilege to change it?

Sorry I didn't ask where you would be ordering from. Your post didn't mention a 1080ti. The Psu you selected is a great Psu. It's hard to pick a motherboard because I don't know the things you need it to have like m.2 slots or USB ports.

im sorry im really bad at it.. i dont even know whats m.2 slots and USB ports ? i just need the USB ports for my mouse, keyboard headphones need an ethernet port obviously and a sound port i dont really get what you mean dont all the motherboards come with it?
and yeah i wrote in the other comment that i just want to get an overkill PSU that will be enough for i7-7700k and 1080TI on their OC mode so i wont bother with it.
i managed to build this one here : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mQgVXH
what do you think about it? will this PSU be enough for 1080TI and 7700k on OC?
and overall all of this rig to OC an ASUS strix gtx 1060 6gb?
and i dont really know where should i order from.. what do you recommend? from what ive seen newegg seems really trustworthy? and outlet pc has everything and its the cheapest is it trustworthy tho?

The nex g1 Evga are nowhere near as good as the g2. Good job though. Solid quality build.

I've ordered a few things from outletpc and everything was fine but I don't have any experience with international shipping so I can't comment on that. If you don't know what m.2 is then it's not a big deal it's just a newer type of form factor for drives. And the USB I meant was USB 3.1 type c which is not on all motherboards. You would be fine with a 1080ti with your build so the 1060 will be great.

No but it won't be a lot more. The 650 is plenty as long as you don't add a second gpu.
