New rig

Im looking for new build for 1080p. I will we playing mostly WOW, Total War Warhammer II. Can this PC handle games on max settings with 1080p resolution ?
Not sure if it is worth to spend more money on 1070. Also i would like to know ur opinion about this AIO water cooling solution.

Yeah that should do ok. Maybe not MAX settings, but depends on the title

How do you calculate the PSU supply size normally? - Im looking at a similar build but was going for a 550W

500-550 is minimum for this setup, I picked 650W cos u want leave space for future upgrade.

Can i5-8600K and GTX1060 handle next wow exp on max settings with 1080p resolution ?

It's not, a 350w unit could run that stuff fine if it was good quality and had the connectors (1060 probably needs a 6 or 6+2 pin). 450 has tons of room at max OC's across the board.

The 1060 is limited to 120 watts unless you manually raise it, not much more above that if you do. The 8600k will pull maybe a bit over 100, a lot less than 150 under OC and load. Very little else in the system draws an appreciable amount of power but all of the little stuff adds up to a bit.

You wouldn't want a bad 500w unit but that's because of quality concerns like the stability of power delivery, fire/damage risk and the unit not being able to actually deliver what it says on the box; it's not because 500w is at all inadequate.

If you have a system with an OC'd 8600k and 1060 and see it drawing 350 watts peak from the wall, remember that the PSU power rating is based on the output power from the PSU, not the wall power draw. Wall power draw is substantially higher because it includes the conversion inefficiency. With an 85% efficient unit, a 350 watt from the wall draw is only 298 watts from the PSU (rated for 350), so you have 52 watts more headroom than you might think by looking at the wall power draw.

If you're using a PSU calculator to get 500-550w minimum from those components then you're using it horribly wrong and it's probably worse than just guessing. If somebody told you that somewhere else, find a new info source.

Minimum performance would be limited by the CPU and be in areas with lots of players around, especially in combat. There's nothing that runs WoW much faster than an 8600k (maybe an 8700k slightly because of having a little more L3 cache). CPU Core overclocks and higher RAM speeds (3200 to maybe 3600 is easy to run, 4000 not so much) improves WoW's CPU performance.

And how about this water cooling solution - Corsair Hydro Series H105 ? Is it good or should i go for NZXT Kraken ?

Almost all aio watercoolers on the market are made by the same company (Asetek) and most differences are esthetic.

I can't post links yet, so i have put in some spaces, it is a good site to calculate your power draw.

That set up should run WoW 1080p Graphics quality on 10 no problem. But expect to sit around 60-90 fps in the open world which is completely fine for WoW. Personally I never run above 7 in setting because you cant really tell much of a difference when playing at 1080p and i prefer to keep fps up to my 180Hz monitor. As for the liquid cooler it does have 5 stars/eggs on newegg, however there are reports of leaks and bad fans. But leaks are always a risk with liquid coolers, if tested before installing and handle it with care, it shouldn't be an issue. The fans i would recommend to replace to some higher quality ones.
