Can I OC my I5-6600k on a Z270 mb?

Is it possible? And is there anything else I should worry about?

Hi Shadyxi

You have a "K" processor so there should be no reason not to OC. Make sure you understand your Bios as this is where you OC from for performance. Google around for guides on OCing with your CPU and MB.
Here's one to start with: http://www.overclock.net/t/1621347/kaby-lake-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

Yes you can, kaby lake is just skylake with a sticker on it.
