Those 4 PSUs above are all good PSUs. But how OP is supposed to know if he needs 550W or 750W PSU?

To research about PSUs, here's a great article to read: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html

Your i7-6700K build will do fine with 550W PSU. When you OC your CPU and/or GPU, i'd feel comfortable with 650W PSU.

For 550W, you can go with Seasonic G-550, EVGA SuperNova G2 550W (both suggested by CTurbo) or Corsair RM550x.
For 650W, you can go with Corsair RM650x, FSP Hydro G 650, EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2 or Seasonic PRIME 650.
Note: Seasonic PRIME 650 is the best 650W PSU money can buy at current date. (Got PRIME 650 in my Skylake as well, specs in my sig.)
