I'm planning to build my own desktop computer with my budget being about $750 USD, not including the graphics card or any other external peripherals . I have a list put together with the pricing of the items beside them. (All prices are USD)

 

Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache - $204

MSI Intel Skylake H170 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Mini-ITX Motherboard - $119

EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W Power Supply - $50

Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX and Mini-ITX PC Case - $85

HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory  - $97

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan - $28

Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition Twin Pack Fan (x2) - $52

^(In case I want to change the three fans in the Corsair Carbide Air 240)

Sandisk Z400s 128GB M.2 2280 SSD - $56

Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive - $50

 

The maximum amount of money that I will be willing to spend is $775 - $800. Are there any other setups that are better within the same price range?

(All prices pulled from Amazon.com)

No need of a 212 evo. 6500 has it already

MAybe WD blue instead of Seagate but I have one seagate and it's fine

Not that PSU. CX550m or similar much better than a low quality b1

Rest are fine

 
 

Would this PSU also be able to support an ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB VRAM with a Boost clock of 1873 MHz) or any other graphics card?

Okay, so anything better than the 600B will be better?

And on the topic of PSU's, how many watts do you recommend for this rig?

a good 450w is enough for this.
