Heyy, Ted here,
I'm sorry if this sounds really stupid, but I'm building a PC and don't know if everything is compatible, and if it is, is the PC for a good price? (BTW, I put the parts together on the website pcspecialist)
Here are the specs:

Case: GAME MAX FALCON BLACK GAMING CASE

Processor: Intel® Core™i5-7600K

Motherboard: ASUS® STRIX B250H Gaming SATA 6GBsMemory, ATX

RAM: 8GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2133MHz (2 x 4GB)

1st Hard Disk: 120GB KINGSTON UV400 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb

2nd Hard Disk: 1TB SATA-III 3.5"

Power Supply: CORSAIR 550W VS SERIES™ VS-550 POWER

(The website told me that having a higher Watt is just wasting money and energy. '' You have selected a 550W power supply, but based on our calculations you actually only need a 350W power supply. We have calculated your specification to require around 222W of power including a 20% allowance.'')

Cooler: Processor CoolingPCS FrostFlow 120 Series High Performance Liquid cooler

OS: SystemGenuine Windows 10 Home 64 Bit - inc DVD & Single Licence

Price: 761.00 pounds

And for the graphics: I'd separately add the graphics (GeForce GTX 1070

All the parts will go together and work, but it's quite a mixup of parts.
I've used a 'K' CPU in a 'B' motherboard in the past because I wanted the higher base/boost speed of the 'K' part but not the overclocking feature, so if that's your aim, it's fine by me, but most will pair a 'k' CPU with a 'Z' motherboard OR a non 'K' CPU with a 'B' or 'H' motherboard if they don't want or need to overclock.
You're going to hurt the overall performance with such slow memory, DDR4 3000 would be of significant benefit.
The 'VS' PSU is a low quality part, safe but not of great quality, there's better available.
If you're aiming to game on a budget TBH you'd be better off with a Ryzen build, maybe like this:
