Hey, this is my first post please don't be rude.
I'm planning on building my first computer ever I already bought a Thermaltake core V1 and a  Rosewill Glacier 500w 
I'm thinking about getting an Asus Strix z270i a mini itx with build in wifi and bluethooth, any suggestions?
Also I want to get the I5 6600k  and go with the stock fan since I'm not going to overclock is that ok?
16gb of ddr4 2400 
and this video card https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jZJkcf/asus-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-dual-video-card-dual-gtx1060-o6g

also an 120gb m.2 to boot but I'm not sure if they are all the same since I read something about b+g keys or something like that
a 1tb hhd and 250ssd for some programs and games
What do you think?
Any recomendation?
Sorry for the English I'm not a native speaker :c

the 6600k doesn't come with a stock cooler, get a 1600 and itx b350 board instead. no need for a seperate m.2 ssd for a boot drive, just use obe 240gb ssd and be done with it.

I5's are so, so bad dude.  Get an i7 7700 non k instead, the stock cooler will be able to cool it.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Like Damascus said, if you don't plan on overclocking go for a cheaper B250 motherboard and locked I7, it should be around the same price

Is going to affect performance? I mean the 1600
The ssd sounds like a good idea since it's only a matter of seconds 

The 1600 will be better, come with a stock cooler and run cooler.

The locked I7 would be cheaper

im saying the i7 7700k is faster than the i7 7700 on a locked board. But im not sure it its worth the extra money.
