Your can change your motherboard to a Z170 if you insist on using the i5 6600K as processors with 'K' are meant to be overclocked and only motherboards with the chipset starting with 'Z' are meant to overclock, your combination works, but it is typically seen as a 'mismatch'. This combination still works as you the Z170 supports various speeds of ram and I noticed you selected the 2400Mhz DDR4 ram (the H170 i mentioned only supports up to 2133Mhz).

Are you overclocking? If no, I suggest you to change to a H110 / H170 motherboard with a i5 6500/6600 to save some cash. Change your ram to one with 2133Mhz speeds.

If you are overclocking, please change your motherboard to something with a Z170 as it supports official overclocking. The 6600K does not come with a OEM Intel fan, you will need to get your own cooler.

Get an SSD for Windows installation.
