a good mother board and cpu cooker for i5 6600k oc

Solution
If your overclock is stable and your cooling is good, you should be able to run it 24/7/365. Be sure to look up guides on how the overclocking process goes before you mash voltage through your brand new processor and fry it if you've never overclocked before.

As for an mATX case, very few actually exist that I would consider good-looking. Off the top of my head, the Thermaltake Core V21 comes to mind. The rest are fugly, like the Bitfenix Prodigy, or are dirt cheap bad construction I wouldn't even trust as a trash can. There are mid-towers on the smaller side that should fit your needs, like the NZXT S340 and the Phanteks P400. Take a little time and look for reviews of cases similar to these in size and shape. If not, you can always...

What size mid tower? mATX, ATX? It really depends what you'll be doing with your rig for the overclock. If you're gaming, you probably won't need that high of an overclock, if any at all. You did get a K chip, so I don't see why you wouldn't overclock.

If not, you can always take the fun route by getting some wood, metal, and screws and make your own case.

For a CPU cooler for overclocking, anything will work that isn't the stock intel heatsink.
You can probably get away with something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 or the Cryorig H7. You could step it up a bit and pay more for slightly better cooling like a Cryorig R1 or some monstrous Noctua Unit or a 120mm closed loop water cooler like a Corsair H55, or fork out a bit more money and just get an overkill closed loop liquid cooler like a Corsair h100i or nzxt Kraken x60/x61 or the Thermaltake 360mm Water 3.0 something of that nature. Knowing that the 6600k doesn't generate heat anything like the 4690k does, an overkill cooler won't get you much more than a Hyper 212. YMMV.

Oh, and make sure you know your measurements before you buy a CPU cooler and case. You might end up buying a cooler that is just too big to fit in your case.
