Hi my friend is looking to build his first PC and is trying to stick to a budget of between £900-£1000. He is looking to play a lot of new games at 1080p and 60 hertz however i'm unsure if an i5-7600k and a gtx-1060 (6GB) are overkill or not and i'm not sure if a ryzen 1600x would suit his needs better as the PC is mainly for gaming. Here is the list of parts I've chosen so far however i'm around £84 over budget so i would like some advice on what would be better suited. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xrHLnn Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Poor PSU. Get a 550W CXM (the grey ones, the green ones are poor)
Personally I'd go Ryzen.
A 1060 will be fine.
Lose the thermal compound. The one included is sufficient.
Exchange the crappy Corsair fan for a Phanteks, Noctua or Cougar.
