Can I have some opinions on the following setup. These are what I think I will buy. Note that JohnSmith items were free as they are included within my student allowance (£325 Voucher) so I did not mind what I paid for, the store was very limited anyway.

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz - £239.99 (Novatech)
Cooler: Cool Master Hyper 212 LED - £28.49 (Ebuyer)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z270 Gaming - £131.99 (overclockers)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB - £87.50 (Ebuyer)
SSD: Corsair Neutron XTI 480GB - £0.00 (johnsmith - RRP £199)
HDD: WD Blue 2TB - £66.95 (overclockers)
Case: NZXT S340 Black/Blue - £66.95 (overclockers)
PSU: EVGA 600W - £48 (Novatech)
GPU: Nvidia 1060 6GB - £239.99 (overclockers)
Keyboard: Corsair Sabre Mouse - £0.00 (johnsmith - RRP £49)

For the GPU, I got a few below but I do not know which are good/not.

GIGABYTE GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6G - £245
ASUS TURBO-GTX1060-6G - £249
EVGA GTX 1060 SC GAMING 6G - £249
MSI GTX 1060 GT OC Single Fan 6G - £227.99
Palit GTX 1060 Super JetStream 6G - £259
 
Everything looks pretty good. As for the GPU, I would go with EVGA GTX 1060 SC GAMING 6G. I'm saying this becaus eI have it as well, and EVGA has a great support team. Not saying it's better than the others, but speaking from expereicne. pretty much all of those cards will deliver the same performance.

As ffar as that PSU, go with Corsair or Seasonic if you want 600w
 


He has a i5-7600k. What will be bottleneck? And why does he need a full size one? He will be able to obtain high settings with decent frame rates.
