You really can use most any H110 motherboard that supports DDR4. Many will be in your budget range.

OTOH, at the $225 price point for a I5-6600, I would pay $10 more for a I5-6600K which can be overclocked for some 30% better performance.
Yes, you will need a Z170 motherboard.

And...
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need...

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.
