Hi all, please see my build below

7th gen
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qJPFLD

Or should i save money by not going win 10, and pursue 6th gen
But sacrifice 2400mhz DDR4, Intel optane memory and higher clock speed

Also, will my PSU be enough if ever I want to SLI in the future with 2x GTX 1060?
Is 16gb overkill for this build?
Will I get bottleneck with my GTX 1050ti?
Is MSI Core Frozr L Cpu Cooler better than Hyper 212?

**Note: Already bought the mobo and the GPU, because of free gaming KB lels

TIA

Oh I though I could just swap in my 1050ti for 1060, then SLI 1060s in the future lol
Can I crossfire RX 570s though?
My budget would be around $800~

Ok then, I guess I will just sell my 1050ti and upgrade to a strong single card in the future. Like a GTX 1070

Which gives me the option to lower the wattage of my PSU right? So I can just go for 520W?
 
I suggest spending $13 more and getting the SPEC-04, looks much nicer.

Thank you for this build.
However, isn't i7-7700 too much for my 1050ti? Will I not experience bottleneck in my GPU? Or are you also considering future upgrades?
Sad thing is I don't like how SPEC-03 looks like. Looks like bane from batman. And, SPEC-04 is not available in my country, can you give other options for my case?
That PSU is also not available in my country, can you also give me other options?
And is it worth buying Windows 10, or go for Skylake and Windows 7?
As for the wireless adapter, that is also not available in my country. Will TPLink TL-WN851N 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter be a good choice?
Thanks and sorry for being noob.

That was my mistake I bought my motherboard along with the release of RYZEN 5 lol. Although, I did get an MSi DS4200 Gaming KB.

A CPU can't be too much for a GPU. If anything, It's good for the CPU to be ''too much'' for a GPU, in that sense. It means the GPU can be utilised to 100% in most games without being held back by CPU power.

If you can, just go Win 10. I personally think It's still the best OS you could use.

Because there is no such thing as pcpartpicker with our local currency lol.
Budget would be more or less Php 50,000 (including 1050ti and MSI b250m Bazooka)

Yes, already bought it. Though i'm looking for a replacement to 1060.

Thanks for the build. But is i5-7600k also good? I want to OC in the future when I switch to a Z board.

I'll be investing in air cooling with the MSI CORE FROZR L cpu cooler.
