Where ever you read that, don't read there writing again.. You could run that on a  450W with an i7-8700K  both overclocked.

 

Run a 140W i7-7800X if you want on a 450W with that card.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market

A bit over 200W. The lowest wattage decent PSUs start at 400W-450W, so get one of those. This does not mean a random crappy 400W PSU like the EVGA N1, but a good one, like the Pure Power 10 or Vengeance.

Who told you that,,,? You could run four GTX 1060s and 8700Ks off an 850W unit, that's absurd.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

800W for a 1060 is utter nonsense.

In principle even a 300W PSU is plenty if you use a normal (LGA115x/AM4) Desktop CPU and don't do overclocking.

 

However since good PSU start at 400W minimum, some even at 450W, that is the minimum.

 

 

And you should get a good PSU, not a high wattage or cheap one!

A good choice would be something like be quiet Pure Power 10 or Bitfenix Formula 450W. In this case, the Pure Power should be a good amount cheaper (10€ or more) than the Bitfenix...
