I have an MSI Z170A Motherboard with a new i5 6600k, but I need a cpu cooler. Been looking at this: Hyper 212 EVO (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2)

Will that fit my build without getting in the way?

The Hyper 212 will fit then. I would still recommend either the H7 or the H5

It will fit the motherboard with no problems, if it will have clearance for your memory is another question since you never listed it.
The Cryorig H7 is just as good of a cooler with no clearance issues, the H5 is a bit better cooler with no clearance issues.
