I am building my first PC and I was hoping I could get some thoughts on my build(Parts in the link below).
I am aware that I don't have a PSU picked because the part wasn't listed(CM Vanguard 80+ Full Mod 550w), that's a part of the reason for my posting here.
I noticed there was also a compatibility issue with my MoBo and was also wondering if it requires me to change parts.
Also are there any glaring mistakes you've think I've made.

I also have a mouse, keyboard and monitor already as well.

I'm sorry if I've posted in the wrong place, very new here.
Thanks.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Total: $1326.00

not a bad set but I would like to suggest the following changes; cpu, cooler, Motherboard, ram, SSD
here is my pick on your system idea https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/nC4hGf
why changes, that cooler will be good when you overclock that 6600K, speaking of which , better a Z270 board than a z170 board to overclock it, and that leads me to a faster Ram because that board will support up to 3866 btw (pricey) the evo 950is a few dollars more, still m./2 but had the internal cache the 850 doesn't.
