I am going to buy a Custom PC with these specs:
Intel Core i7-8700
16GB Corsair VENGANCE DDR4 3200MHz (RAM)
6GB Nvidia Geforce Gtx 1060 
 
Additional Info:
Motherboard- ASUS Prime Z370-P: ATX LGA 1151
HDD- 2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA-III 6gb/s 7200RPM
SSD- 128GB M.2 2280 SATA 6Gb/s
Power Supply- Corsair 450W VS Series
Processor Cooling- CoolerMaster Hyper 212X
 
Could anyone tell me if this setup would get: (60+ Frames on GTA 5 Ultra/High Settings 1080p) and (60-100+ Frames on Fortnite Epic/High Settings 1080p)
(Also I'm pretty sure its all compatible but if anyone spots anything please let me know since I am pretty new to PC Gaming) 
 
Other people mentioned it was a bad power supply...
Since I am buying it from a custom pc website where they build it for you the only other power supply they offer is: Corsair 550W TXm Series.
Could you also recommend a different CPU to go with that GPU if it is too much of an overkill.
The SSD is unbranded for some reason however the closest branded one to it (which I am available to getting as it is only a few pounds more) is the: 120GB Kingston SSDNow
Any replies would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
SORRY for no picture but since I haven't bought it yet so I obviously can't get a picture...

Try to get an 80+ Bronze certified psu. The CX450 or CX450M perhaps.

 

The i7-8700 would be fine with the stock cooler if the budget is needed elsewhere.

 

A 240GB+ ssd would be much better, even if it was SATA III rather than NVMe.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
