Hi guys, I have been wanting to get a PC build with a budget of $1500. I wanted to get these parts but it seems like it is just above $1600. Here are the links for the parts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAI2TXC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10EAPE4CAYC9P (keyboard)

That is not a suitable power supply, for such a build, as it is a lower quality unit. A 7600k, with a B250 board, is pointless, as you need a Z270 board to overclock. Made some changes, to keep it within budget, but allow for overclocking, while also getting a much better quality power supply.
