Yes. It's found on the official CPU support list.

You'll need a Z170 motherboard if you want to overclock that i7 6700K.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Only Skylake uses the LGA1151 socket.

Meh i wont really need to overclock it

If you're not overclocking, get the i7 6700. Otherwise, getting the unlocked i7 6700K will essentially be a waste of money.

Are there any reason why you won't pick a Z170 board?

If so I think you should get the Xeon 1230V5 and ASRock E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC board 

Since that Asrock mobo has an external BCLK generator, you can OC that Xeon while saving some money

Whichever is cheaper, which I'd presume is the PRO GAMING. I doubt you need the features that the DELUXE offers.
