I have heard that having a too powerful power supply can over heat your components and considering the i5 7600K already gets quite hot I did not want to overheat it any more.

Any suggestions on how much watt power supply I need that would work well?

More power has nothing to do with damaging components, the PSU quality does.

this is the minimum recommended :http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
Here you will have an idea of what is a good PSU: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

So, for a non reference GPU,and for having more headroom for possible future upgrades, and OC activities I recommend you a good branded certified 650W PSU.
Good luck.

The i5 7600k does not get quite hot. It makes the least heat out of all the previous generations.

A powerful power supply will not over heat your components, because they have a limit to the amount of power they can use.

I would recommend at least a 600W QUALITY power supply, don't go cheap.
