Hello, I am new to these forums but also new to the world of computer hardware. I've used computers my whole life and am excited to finally be building my own. I've been doing a lot of reading including on Tom's Hardware and other forum websites, and I've decided on everything except the power supply. Here it is:

MSI H170 Gaming M3
Core i7-6700K 4.0 GHz
VGA MSI GTX 1060 OC 6 GT
16 GB DDR4 2400 G.Skill Ripjaws
1TB HDD
120GB SSD
Blu-Ray DVD Reader

I've done many calculations on what wattage I need and so far it has been different for some websites. So I was wandering what wattage I need. I will be overclocking my GPU and my CPU down the line.

Thanks to anyone who responds to help me out . :)

Thank you very much. I would also like to ask if I needed any extra fans for my system. Because I am not fully sure if I need to replace the stock case fans for better fans.
 
Get a z170 MB if you want to overclock that CPU in teh future.
A 550W PSu will be ample for any overclocks you can do to both GPU and CPU.
Only replace your current case fans if you find them too loud.
