it'll overclock quite nicely. a K processor and a z170 board will allow you to. the liquid cooler will help keep temps down as well

The board you chose will allow you to overclock. Overclocking is done from within the BIOS and is slightly different from board to board. There are plenty of overclocking tutorials on youtube that can teach you how to overclock.

The board has some automatic overclock features that come with its control software. Or you can manually overclock within the BIOS. There are lots of guides online you can follow,  LTT has some videos on CPU and GPU overclocking. 

 

* Off topic Edit* . If its within your budget I recommend looking into a monitor with a higher refresh rate to take advantage of all the horsepower this build has. Also depends on the kind of games/ work you will be doing on this rig.
