Corsair VS Series™ VS650 - 650 Watt Power Supply

Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB SSD 2,5" 7mm

Cooler Master Hyper 212X, Tower, 120mm 600-1700RPM, Full Socket

The VS series is an awful PSU. How much do you want to spend?

The Corsair VS is awful. If you can afford a 6600k then you can afford to spend 70 dollars on a PSU. Look at the EVGA GQ/B2/GS/G2, 550W is plenty. B2 and GQ are minimum 750W and 650W respectively.

That computer can easily be ran with a 400W supply. A decent 4~500W PSU is where I'd look at.

Guys will this work? I have a GTX 960 1x6 pin

Will this PSU work, it's quite cheap for a 80+ gold 800w http://arvutitark.ee/est/tootekataloog/Arvutikomponendid-Toiteplokid-PSU-PSU-700W-800W/IN-WIN-Desert-Fox-Commander-III-Modular-800-Watt-80-PLUS-Gold-Certified-COMMANDER800III-65182

Will it work? Maybe. Will it work well? Probably not. EVGA, Seasonic, the higher end Corsairs are all nice choices. Or better yet, look at the LTT PSU lost or the one on Tom's hardware

BOINC Setup:
i5 7200U @ Stock

Core2Duo T6600 @ Stock

i3 2330M @ Stock

i5 3210M @ Stock

Are these good? (This is basically the only place in my country where I can get everything for the cheapest)

I also want to overclock and maybe get a gtx 1080 in the future?

They're all good, but the V-series, the first option you linked, is the best one. You actually linked them in order of best to worst :)
