Hi, Im going to build myself a new computer. And i was wondering if it's going to be as good as i want it to be. I want to be able to play some new releases on high graphics or higher. and i was wondering if its possible to maybe stream with the computer if that time comes.

I'm gonna build it all inside a Fractal Design Define R5
The specs will be:
Intel i7-7700 non-k.
Noctua NH-D15 air cooler
MSI H270 Gaming Pro Carbon (If there is a better choice please tell me)
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400Mhz 16GB
MSI Geforce Gtx 1060 6GB Gaming X (Can someone tell me difference between X and X+?)
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB 2.5" SSD OEM
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm

And im not quite sure how powerful my PSU has to be, so feel free to comment what i need :)
Also gettin an Acer 24" Predator Led XB240H 144Hz screen.

Everything looks good. If you can stretch your budget out and get a Z270 witht he 7700K, that would be better obviously, but if not, you are not hurting yourself. Not sure about the difference, but probably just a slight boost clock. You most likely will not tell in the gaming. Also, since you are not getting the K version, there is no need for the air cooler as it comes with a stock cooler. It's designed for that CPU.

I would look into a 550w PSU, probably the Gold+ from SeaSonic. Also, you may want to consider upgrading to 250GB as you may want to get Adobe products or MS Office and throw it up there (maybe even a game). Not a big fan of Seagate as they have been unreliable for me in the past. I usually go with Western Digital...

Other than that, it looks fine to me.
