If you go with a i5-6500 and B150 mobo, you can skip the additional cost of the cooler and just use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU. It will be adequate since you can't overclock this setup.

Something like above builds,but i would rather loose the cooler and get 2x8gb of ram instead,use the stock cooler and replace it when you can or find necessary.
