Ok Win 7 is fine. That PSU is garbage, buy a new one as per my builds.

Go with one of my builds above, being that you don't need an OS you can go for the faster i5 build and still be well under your budget. You can take that money save up $10 more and get a GTX 1050 ti:

That right there does not work. The 6600k alone is almost $300, you're going to spend another $100 on a Z170 motherboard as there is no reason to buy a k CPU without that board. That leaves you with only $100 to spend on a GPU which you could get a 1050ti or RX 460 but both are weak for that CPU. Also what PSU do you have, if its a poor one its not worth throwing such money at it.

You need to either change your budget or expectations.

Now heres a build with a good PSU, under $500 and includes Windows that will do whatever you want at 768p
