It really depends on the budget you're willing to spend on the PSU. Without a GPU, those two components will not even reach 150W power draw (or not even 200W~250W if you add up your other components such as SSDs, HDDs, and fans, but depends on the quantity).

Technically, you can get by with any good quality ~300W PSU. Such as this:

Antec EarthWatts Green 380W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($41.99 @ SuperBiiz)

The EA-380D Green is made by Delta Electronics, has a rated 50C oper. temp., provides combined total of 336W at the +12V rail, only has 1x 6-pin PCIE power connector, non-modular cables, and 3-year warranty.

However, if you do plan to get a GPU in the future, that ~300W PSU probably won't cut it, esp. if you'll be pairing that powerful i7-7700K (in OC) with an equally powerful GPU (which would also require more PCIE power connectors).

If I was in your position (assuming would be doing a future GPU upgrade), I would still get a ~450W to ~550W PSU for almost the same price range as a good-quality 300W PSU mentioned above. Note that the best efficiency is achieved when using just ~50% of the PSUs rated wattage (esp. at the +12V rail).

Some suggested good quality PSUs at low-cost price range:

SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($48.99 @ NCIX US)

Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)

SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($56.99 @ SuperBiiz)

If you have more budget, here are some suggested better quality PSUs at higher price range:

SeaSonic 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz)

SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($69.39 @ SuperBiiz)

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.98 @ NCIX US)

EVGA SuperNOVA G3 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Corsair RMx 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ Amazon)
