Buy a z170 motherboard if you want to  overclock. It is not possible on the board you selected.

IN WIN 703    -     Dell P2414H    -    LG Flatron M197WDP    -    CMSTORM Quickfire XT with MX blue's    -    Logitech  G502

buy i5 6500.....that is more then enough for the games that you play & it gives the best performance as compared with price....& you can use the stock cooler.

But if you want to stick to 6600k then buy a z170 motherboard, otherwise there is no point of buying an over clockable processor.

IMO - 

 

Get a z170 motherboard to overclock

Think about getting a better cpu cooler such as the cryorig h7 ultimate

Maybe get an HDD as well, from my experiences 500 gb has never been enough

I dont know how good the psu is, i personally would go for an EVGA g2 or gs

Also, don't buy a N wireless card,  get an AC solution.

Only two things I would swap out is the Motherboard and Heatsink, both for the same reason. If you want to overclock the 6600k that board won't support it, and if you do overclock it you will want better cooling, so you would have to update to a water cooler.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Current Gigabyte cards, especially the 1060, are running hotter and louder than competing cards while looking uglier IMO.
