Yo! I'm new to pc building and I would like to know if my parts that I've picked are good together and for gaming purposes. I'm Finnish but I'll be buying these parts from Germany as the components there are way cheaper. I have an unused windows 7 key so I will not buy a new version. But here are the parts:

-CPU- Intel Skylake i5-6600K

-CPUcooler- ID-Cooling SE-214X 120mm

-MB- Gigabyte GA-Z170-GAMING K3-EU ATX

-GPU- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1

-RAM- Kingston 8GB(2x4GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 MHz

-HDD- Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200rpm
-SSD-Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD

-PSU 500W- Silverstone Strider Essential-230

-CASE- BitFenix Nova ATX

It's not about power, but about ability do deliver it within specs and not to fail :) A failing PSU may damage any component in your system. Or even all of them.
PSU is one of the most important things in PC. You are also intending to overclock, so power delivery becomes more important.
I made few changes to your list. For example, I switched your 1TB hdd for a 500GB SSD. you can revert it if you want. Also I've put a PSU that will hold your system for many years and will serve you in the next build as well.
