I was wondering if this was a good build, but sadly I cannot overclock the CPU because of the motherboard and so I managed to find this motherboard:
B85M-G R2.0 and with this motherboard could I get the Core I5 6600K and overclock the motherboard?

I was also curious on whether there would be any bottleneck by pairing a I5 6600/K with a GTX 1060

That B85M-G has a different socket than the i5-6600k, so it won't work. To overclock that CPU you'll need a z170 chipset motherboard.

You don't need a different CPU cooler if you aren't overclocking, the stock one will work just fine. You may want to look into either more RAM or a less barebones motherboard, but other than that the build looks good.

I made a few changes. The cpu cooler is not necessary.

Thanks! I'll probably end up building this exact PC! I'll probably post pictures when it's complete! Thanks again for all the help
