Soon i will be buying a new cpu and graphics card. I had the i5 6600k in mind in combination with a gtx 1060. Which psu would be the best choice? I thought about a Corsair RM650x but is there a cheaper alternative? I plan to overclock the cpu at some point aswell when its needed.
Thanks in advance.

A quality 500-550W PSU would be sufficient.

'Cheap' is subjective, and you don't want to get too cheap in price (as that's usually cheap in quality also), as that's a bad idea all-round.

I see an RM650x for ~$110 at the moment, an luckily there are many cheaper alternatives that are still good quality:
750W SuperNOVA B2 is overkill, but a great price at $60

550W SuperNOVA G2 for $80 after rebate:

If you're partial to Corsair, their new CX550M is good quality too (avoid the older CX models) at...
