This is my very first post here, so please forgive any of my mistakes and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. (btw English isn't my foreign language, so sorry if I make errors(I accept corrections))

I've looked for help in other forums, but they haven't cleared anything out... What I want to do is a good PC that lasts me for a few years, and the specs are:

Processor: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz

Motherboard: Asrock Z270 Pro4

(Need help with this, I'm thinking about a MSI Intel Z270 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Z270-SLI-PLUS-Motherboard/dp/B01MY4L5ED?SubscriptionId=AKIAI3INFIGIMW2PG6XA&tag=shoprev-uk-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01N5LSIYI&ascsubtag=%5Bsite%7Cthauk%5Bcat%7C%5Bart%7C%5Bpid%7CB01N5LSIYI%5Btid%7C14937527992033811%5Bbbc%7CLESPRIX&th=1) or an ASRcock Z270 (https://www.amazon.es/ASRock-Z270-Killer-SLI-Alimentaci%C3%B3n/dp/B01N48AFA1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753364&sr=8-1&keywords=ASRock+Z270+Killer))

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB 2666MHz (x2) (I have already bought these)

CPU cooling: NZXT Kraken X62 (Suggestions?)

SSD: Samsung 850 Evo SSD Series 250GB SATA3

HDD: WD Blue 3TB 3.5" SATA 3

Case: NZXT S340 Elite USB 3.0

Monitor: Benq GW2406Z 23.8" Full HD AH-IPS LED

PSU: Not decided yet (I have no idea which wattage this build does)

Graphics Card: Not decided yet (Strix Geforce GTX 1070?)

Keyboard: Not decided yet

Mouse: Not decided yet

I'm on a 1500€ budget and I have to start from scratch as you can see. I need help with the PSU and the graphics card, I don't know which ones to buy. For the PSU I've looked at some sites(like http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator or https://es.msi.com/power-supply-calculator) to calculate your ideal wattage, but they're too technical in some ways. I have literally no idea what graphics card to choose, there are so many...

I've also been told to consider this build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/9m4Rbj

What do you think? Thanks in advance!

here's an espana pcpp build :

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor (€252.95 @ PC Componentes)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard (€128.95 @ PC Componentes)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (€147.90 @ Amazon Espana)

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€49.84 @ Amazon Espana)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card (€448.00 @ Amazon Espana)
Case: Phanteks...
First off what country are you in? It will help with prices.

Second, you don't need a expensive water cooling system for the i5. A nice CM or Cryorig air cooler should do fine (>$50). As for GPU, I would go with a 1070 if you plan on doing 1080p...or even 1440p. That BenQ will probably be overpriced when you get the final price. Here is a nice list for you.

Thanks for the answer! I'm from Spain, computer parts are a bit overpriced here.
That water cooler looks so good that I don't wanna change it, but I think I will. What should I keep in mind when choosing a cpu cooler? Thanks again!
