I prefer to oversize psu a little so I would think of a larger psu.  A quick google search says 600w for a 1080.  You could try one of those psu calculators

Thanks for your reply, I was in doubt about taking the 600w maybe it's a good idea. (i used the calculator of coolermaster and they said 423w)

A 550W psu is enough for an i5 8600K and GTX 1080.

 

I would try and get a more powerful cooler if you plan to do a heavy overclock on the i5. Maybe something like a Cryorig H5 Universal or BeQuiet Dark Rock 3 etc if they fit in your case.

 

Also the 960 EVO could be swapped for the 850 EVO if you want to save a bit of money although it would be faster if you decide to do video editing and are moving large files around.

I'm not planning to do an overclock immediately. But if I decide to overclock it's not going to be overclocked heavely, the bequiet is to expensive for my needs but the cryorig can be an option. Thanks for your reply

even with overclocking both CPU and GPU at the same time, a RM550x is good?

Yeah.

I used a calculator and it said: 423watts recommended that is about 30% less than the 550w of the PSU.(I'm not an overclocking expert but that seems to be enough for basic overclock)
