opinion about my build

hey,I want to purchase this build:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QVh2V6
 

my questions are:

is my PSU strong enough?
do I need additional cooling for my CPU if I want to OC it?(I will buy the CPU with wraith cooler)

my mobo supports max 3200Mhz RAM,is it risky if I use 3200Mhz RAM?Should I buy 3000Mhz to be sure that it won't be overheated?

 

Just I want to be sure that my PC will be fine if it has gtx 1060 OCed,Ryzen 2700x OCed,3200Mhz RAM.I've never builded a PC by myself and I'm about to click "Buy" on my PC,but I want to be sure that everything is fine.Maybe you can tell me if I should replace some parts(I mean different brands),but I want to stay with gtx 1060,ryzen 2700x and a X470 mobo cuz CBA contacting AMD to give me some dummy to update x370 mobo's BIOS

 

P.S I will buy this case with Temptered glass version

@sample text check out the Western Digital WDS500G2B0B which offers 500gb SSD for the same price as the 250gb 960 Evo. from what I've read they're pretty comparable performance

i7-8700k @ 4.8Ghz | EVGA CLC 280mm | Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 | 16GB G-Skill DDR4-3000 C15 | EVGA RTX 2080 | Corsair RM650x | NZXT S340 Elite | Zowie XL2730

Better quality PSU, probably want to grab an after market cooler, can save a bit by grabbing a 2700 and just ocing that, grab the MX500 or MX300 which is cheaper and still solid.

Skip that PSU. I had one: it whined immediately and died after 3 years. It sucked. Spend an extra $30 and get a good PSU. 

 

I'd skip the NVME drive for a bigger SATA one. 256gb fills up very quickly if you're playing games and unless you're editing 4k video, you'll never see the difference. 

 

If it's a gaming machine go down to the 2600x, run it at stock with the stock cooler (OC headroom is less than 5% anyways), and upgrade to a 1070. The difference between a 2600x and 2700x in gaming is 5%, but the difference between a 1060 and a 1070 is 40%. 

 

Your RAM is fine.
