Yes psu is fine for the 3070ti could up to 850w if you want for £10 to £15 more.

12600k is a great cpu for the money as mentioned in other thread but motherboards are more expensive .
It's a tough choice though I would lean towards the 12600k but make sure you check cpu cooler compatability you may need an extra bracket
