This is going to be my build and i would want to know if a Corsair Builder Series CX600 80+ Bronze would be enough for it (i`m open to other suggestions aswell):
CPU intel core i7 7700k
Cooler CPU Noctua NH-D14
GIGABYTE GA-Z270-Gaming K3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2400MHz CL14 Dual Channel Kit
ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL OC 8GB GPU
not sure on storage yet but probably 1 tb hdd and a small ssd.

Honestly I don't recommend any PSU without DC-DC converters in 2017 anymore.
Group regulated designs are just not current enough.
Also going for a 7700k & a 1070 there should be enough money in the bank to go for at least a semi-modular unit.

This would be the minimum I'd suggest

Not the worst PSU in the world, but it's a mediocre one and with nearly $700 invested in CPU/GPU, it'd be malpractice to not suggest getting a tier one or two PSU such as an EVGA G2/G3 or the like.
