corsair LPX is listed on gaming M5 memory QVL (CMK16GX4M2A2133C13) check here https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5.html#support-mem , dont worry about non listed RAM as long as they're 4 GB to 32 GB.
1060 has 8 pin and 6+2 pin, cx500 has only two 6+2 pin, according to here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-review-80-plus-bronze,3587-11.html the cx500 is at 84 % efficient (at 420 watt), should be enough if assumed
140 W cpu (100 W CPU + 40 W water cooling)
180 W vga
80 W motherboard (powering audio chipset, LAN, BIOS memory, P/S port, 8 USB connector, controller chips, IC, Z170 chipset)
20 W hard drive and case three fans


  • ■ Compabilty OK
    ■ Power OK
    ■ Upgrade option -, do your own component's power...

Should I switch to the cx430 rather since I will not be using a water cooling? So the 1060 is compatible with the cx500 but would it be compatible with the cx430?

The by badboyrog2 looks good to me. The other guy mentioned two 1060s. But 1060s do not have SLI support, so it would be pointless. But if you are going to be gaming, what type of monitor are you using, if you can afford a few more hundred bucks, upgrading to a 1070 or 1080 (400 more) would get your BEST quality, If you are doing 1080p gaming, then you are fine. Also I would recommend investing in a SSD when you have a change. I have a 750 EVO and it does wonders.

not exactly, He can disable 2nd 1060 in BIOS + unplug power connector, He didn't mention gaming or SLI so I figure could be anything such as GPU render system (two 1060 is faster than one 1080).
I rather investing in M.2 (samsung 960 pro) rather than 750 EVO, save space inside PC.
GTX 1080 with corsair CX500 on M5 with 6700.... good luck

No, I was referring at actual supplied wattage of CX500 (420 watt) I couldn't find CX430 review and I never sold CX430. Here's a buying tip: Since this is online shopping you might have to consider compatibility issue, as I mentioned before I've check the QVL list of MSI gaming M5 and found your picks are compatible to each other. We are glad to help and share.
