i5-6600m? You mean the i5-6600? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117562
For a desktop computer. Not a laptop, right?

If you never plan on adding a discrete gfx card, you'll be able to get by with any good quality 300W or better. The size is called ATX...

If you never plan on adding a discrete gfx card, you'll be able to get by with any good quality 300W or better. The size is called ATX. Anything with ATX in the name will be the correct one for any mini tower or tower case. They are all standard size. Here is a 400W high quality PSU that will allow you to upgrade to using a discrete mid-range gfx card in the future if you feel like gaming.

They will all work for your system and board. But stick with the ones labeled ATX or ATX 12V. Basically, it is just a different way retailers label their product.
Looking at that motherboard, I don't think you will be wanting to live with just the built-in iGPU for very long, will you? If you plan on gaming at 1080p or better, you will want a pretty strong gfx card. More than that 400W PSU I linked to can handle. I just assumed you wanted to stay with using the iGPU alone. If you think you'll be using a discrete gfx card, let me know.

Sorry, replying to a message that was sent a year ago but I've been looking at old posts to try and figure out an answer.

What power supply would you reccommend for this build:
ASRock Fatal1ty B250 Gaming K4 LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard
GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB Video Card
i7 7700 Quad Core LGA 1151 3.6 GHz CPU
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz

Sorry thats a lot of stuff, don't know what is and isn't necessary but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm surprised one of the mods hasn't taken this necro thread down yet...lol. But to answer your question, the smallest recommended by Nvidia is 450W. However, I would not recommend going that small. It doesn't look like you'll be doing any OC'ing since you didn't get the i7-7700K, but you should look for something 500 -550W or better.
This is a good PSU if you want a suggestion for a low cost, high quality unit. But check out the other Seasonic units if that one doesn't appeal to you.
