My friend need some help to find a ideal psu. His build is:

CPU: Intel i7-6700K 4.0GHz
Motherboard: Asus - Z170 PRO GAMING ATX (he already has it)
Hard drive: WD - BLACK SERIES 2TB (and maybe one/two WD green for storage)
RAM: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4-2400 x2
GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X (he already has it)
Cooler: CM - Hyper 212 LED (he already has it)

As i know, a 550W psu should be fine but, he want a modular one.
I reccomended him a Seasonic M12II 620 evo. Is that ok?

Btw, any suggestion about the build? I know the 6700K will perform better with a another GPU but, he want an i7 and already has the 1060.
 
Solution
If he plans to stream, then the upcoming 8700k/z370 combo would suit him.
BTW, I don't see the 1060 as a 144hz card. So u might as well save up some bucks by going the ryzen 1600 route.
Although the s12/m12 is a good psu, I would suggest the newer models now. The seasonic gold rated ones, corsair txm, rmx, or evga gq, g2 /g3 are pretty good.

He wants it mainly for gaming, not streaming. Already has a 1080p 60hz monitor, and has no budget to buy a 144hz monitor.
About the psu, you 're totally right. Of 650W i only found the gq series in where i live. Seems to be a pretty good psu, He should buy it. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

He already has bought the mobo, it's a little late to change some things. Haha, i have a impatient and stubborn friend.Once again, thanks for the advice.
