Hello, I am looking for the PC-builders here on Tom's Hardware to let me know if this parts list will work when I order and start to assemble. I have the GPU from an earlier upgrade attempt that did not work with older PC. I just want updated equipment and perhaps a year down the road I will by a used GPU as prices drop on the GPU's.
My primary concern is will the MB have "two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors" for the GPU? Thank you for the response.

GPU
GEFORCE GTX970 4GB

Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-Ultra Gaming LGA1151 Intel 2-Way SLI ATX DDR4

CPU
Intel BX80677I57500 7th Gen Core Desktop Processors & Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler Bundle

Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD4

COOLMAX CU-600B 600W ATX 12V v2.2 Modular and Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply

G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200

You're welcome :) Glad I was able to help.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094 is a better PSU. The PCIe supplemental power cables come from the PSU. Yes it does have those connections. 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 6+2-Pin

You don't need a Z270 board with a locked CPU such as the 7500. If it's only $119 that's a pretty good price and allows for upgrades to unlocked processors.

The Evo is too tall for that case. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF2DZ6565&cm_re=H7-_-13C-000U-00005-_-Product is a little better than the Evo and will fit. I understand it's a bundle but that bundle isn't familiar with your case just yet.
