I'm putting together my first gaming PC and I found these components base on my budget till now.

CPU: Intel Core i5 7600
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 8GBx2 2400Mhz CL15 DDR4
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Buffer SATA3 HDD
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA3
Power: Good 650W
Case: Good one

I'm not sure what to choose when I get to GPU and Motherboard.

1]
Only GTX 1070 I can buy base on my budget:
Gainward GTX 1070 Phoenix 8GB GDDR5
MSI GTX 1070 ARMOR 2X OC 8GB GDDR5
If I buy GTX 1070, I can go for motherboards like:
GIGABYTE H270-Gaming 3 LGA1151 H270 Mainboard
ASUS ROG STRIX H270F GAMING LGA1151 H270 Mainboard
MSI Z270 GAMING PLUS LGA1151 Z270 Mainboard
Gigabyte Z170X-Ultra Gaming LGA1151 Z170 Mainboard

2]
Can buy any GTX 1060 and I have "Gigabyte GTX 1060 WF2X OC 6GB GDDR5" in my mind and if I buy GTX 1060, I can go for Motherboards like:
MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC LGA1151 Z270 Mainboard
ASUS ROG STRIX Z270F GAMING LGA1151 Z270 Mainboard


Build number 1 or 2? (I will appreciate any other build or any suggestion)
Will CPU be fine with the cooler in the box? (Case I mentioned above has 5 fans)

You don't need a Z motherboard if your CPU is not a "k" series. I would get a 1070 over a 1060, regardless of what 1070 it is.

Also, please don't say VGA, it means video graphics array, it refers to the port/connector rather than a card..it's not the 90's so call it a GPU :)

Yes, cpu coolers are in the box, unless you buy a tray version, however the stock CPU cooler is trash. Buy a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo; it's cheap and many times better than stock

Thank you Kokolin, I was thinking about future so I don't need to change my motherboard anytime soon and I can upgrade GPU and CPU..

Edited ;)

Isn't it good enough for Intel Core i5 7600?

It's good enough for any cpu, but it's really loud and the temperatures good at all...i'm assuming it's a gaming system, so with the stock CPU cooler it'll get to about 85-90*c whilst gaming, 25 dollars more and you'll have 55-60*c gaming temps if you buy a decent cooler
