The time has come to build a new computer, especially now when the 1080 ti have come out.
I'm going for an overkill computer i guess you can say. But i got some questions and so on about the build. I hope the community can provide me with answers and also give opinions on the build, is there anything that i should reconsider?

The components is as following:
Motherboard: ASUS STRIX Z270F GAMING LGA 1151 Intel Z270

Power Supply: CORSAIR HXi Series HX750i 750W 80 PLUS PLATINUM

Graphics card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Strix OC - 11GB
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126186

Harddisk SSD: Samsung 850 EVO SSD - 250GB
Harddisk SSHD: 1000 GB

Questions:
1. Will a corsair cx600m 80plus bronze be sufficient enough for this build? (current PSU in my last build)
Before next question i should probably mention that i want to play games like star citizen and other high requirement games on a 1440p 100hz g-sync curved monitor.
2. Is the 1080 ti too overkill for the purpose (maxed settings in a game like star citizen on the monitor mentioned above)?
3. I hope that i will be able to play the next gen VR with this graphics card as well, what is your thoughts on this?
 
Solution
In chronological order...

> CX600M is not a quality unit and i wont risk cheaping out on the PSU with such expensive parts.

> 100hz/1440p is pretty demanding specially if you wanna max out those games, so 1080ti is not a overkill per se.

> Yes you can play any gen VR in the foreseeable future with this build.

Other notes...

Change the board to E-Gaming instead of F-Gaming. Here is why... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/377817-379617

That's great advice on the board! Thanks for the other thoughts, will definitely go with quality PSU then. Yea and 1080ti might not be a bad idea, even though it almost is as expensive as a an new computer...
