will my EVGA super clocked gtx1060 work (what does super clocked even mean?) with a skylake core i3 on a msi z170a mobo (http://www.ebuyer.com/719817-msi-z170a-pc-mate-socket-lga-1151-vga-dvi-hdmi-7-1-hd-z170a-pc-mate) - all compatible?

any help would be much appreciated :)

All compatible. Do keep an i5 in mind for future upgrades. That Z170a would be great with an i5 or i7 "K" edition CPU, if you were into overclocking potential.

Superclocked just means that the GPU is factory overclocked (revved up) for a bit more performance. This also typically means you have less head room for overclocking on your own.
