I don't see why not go the 7600K. It will cost a little more but just chuck in a super cheap mobo since you are grabbing a Z270 later. Hope this helps :)

MSI B150 Gaming M3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ordered that already, that should be okay for now right?

It would do the trick yes but the only concern would be the BIOS. The old B150 Motherboards need to have a BIOS update to support the 7th gen Kaby Lake CPUs, some come up to date whilst others don't so i am unsure whether that one would be. If it is up to date it would be fine with a 7600K but if not it won't work at all unless you get a 6th gen CPU just to update the BIOS.

Some Intel B150 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs.
Lol what does this mean? Would it not work if I was to use the 7600k or?????
I think I can cancel the order for the mobo so I just order the Z170 because I don't have enough for the Z270
