Your motherboard does not accept your CPU.
Your motherboard is for intel's 4th gen CPUs, you have a 6th gen CPU.
Also, your RAM is DDR3 which is, again, not last gen, you need DDR4 with intels 6XXX CPUs.
The PSU is really bad.
The build I listed is correct and last gen, also a bit better than yours.

EDIT: The motherboard in my build is not a Z(ovreclocking) board, if you want that swap it for a Z170 board, but you can't overclock a 6500, it's a locked CPU.
