- H110 board is way too basic for a build like that. go Z170 or H170.
- water cooling seems overpriced. also not necessary. a Cryorig H7 will be just as good at a third of the cost
- 650W is oversized for the PSU. a 450W PSU would power this build. if you're going with a Z170 board I'd pick a 520-550W PSU
- I would add another case fan such as a Noctua or BeQuiet SilentWings
- the new WD Blues are 5400rpm drives. I wouldn't put my OS on that. better check if it's 7200 or 5400 rpm blue.

Dude, if you're paying 445 dollars for a 6 gig 1060 and 320 dollars for a 6600k, you're getting ripped off. Unless you're talking Canadian dollars. You also need to to get a z170 series mobo in order to overclock the 6600k. If you aren't planning on overclocking the CPU, then you can just get a 6600. If you're sticking with the 6600k, and getting a z170 series mobo, I would recommend to get a GTX 1070 sometime in the future, as the 1060 will not be able to keep up with the CPU if you OC it. The other parts look good though.

I agree with JBS, There is no point in getting a K chip without a Z170 if you are on a budget. I would suggest an SSD over a fancy water cooler. It might be cool, but the SSD will improve your performance way more than any cooler.
