i will be buying new parts for my PC:
i7 6700k ,

Asus Dual GTX1060 ,

MSI X99A Sli Plus USB 3.1 Motherboard ,

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB Desktop Memory Kit.

I currently have a XFX 500W powersupply so do i need to upgrade to a 600W or even a 700W?
 
Solution
you don't need a crazy motherboard, that CPU works well on an ASUS Z170M-PLUS but if you want to get the fancy board you can.

GTX 1080 pairs perfectly with it.


how isnt the motherboard LGA 2011 compatible whit the i7 and the psu is XFX P1-550B-BEFX Full Modular Cables
 


the i7 6700k is an LGA 1151 CPU not LGA 2011. If you wanted an LGA 2011 i7 you need the 5820k, 6800k, 6850k, 6900k, etc.

That PSU is a really good one, its 550w gold rated actually. Its more than enough.
 


should i buy the Asus ROG Strix Z270 or something else and is the i7 going to be good whit maybe a geforce gtx 1080?
