Looking into building another PC. I like to think I know PC parts pretty well but I know there are people that know way more then me so i'm asking for some feed back. Im looking for a black and white build (more black then white) in the $1200 price range. (doesn't have to be black if its going to save me a good amount of money).

Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/d6qXkT

Im going with the z170 cause I heard you can over clock 6500 with it even though its not a K. Please let me know if i'm wrong.

i5-6600K instead of i5-6500
A good RM550x PSU instead of that crappy CX600
A solid case from Fractal Design
Went for EVGA GTX1070 instead of ASUS STRIX both are good, if you wanna spend $40 extra go for ASUS STRIX GTX1070

You can only overclock the i5-6500 on certain motherboards with a old or customized BIOS. I don't recommend it. Just get the 6600K. Had to change a few things to get it to the $1,200 price range. I would add a SSD to the build. Improve Windows Boot and Game loading times. The Corsair Builder 600W is made with cheap components, I'd avoid it.

Why provide that low end PSU go for a better one
That case is over priced for this build

Choose a better PSU as that one has a chance of shorting out. Check this PSU Tier List to choose one and always try to recommend Tier 1 or 2 PSU.
If you are spending $50+ then try going for 240GB SSD.
You can cut down the price a bit on case.
Rest is fine.
