Could your components handle the Intel Core i7 6700K?
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU cooler featuring a 120 mm PWM fan, EVGA 100-B1-0600-KR 80 PLUS Bronze 600W power supply with active PFC ATX12V v2.31 / EPS 12V v2.91, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-pin DDR4 SDRAM 2133 (PC4 17000) desktop memory, ASUS Z170 PRO gaming motherboard with LGA 1151 Intel Z170, HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 and ATX interface, and an Intel Core i7-6700K 8-core processor with 4.0 GHz Skylake architecture, 91W power consumption, model BX80662I76700K.
Which GPU are you considering or choosing to stick with CPUs? If that's the case, it's fine—the 212 EVO can manage an upgrade up to around 4.6 with the 6700K. The PSU isn't the best but is more than adequate for your setup and even with a mid-range discrete GPU plus upgrades.

Intel HD Graphics 530?
These specifications are suitable for overclocking. If you have some extra budget, I strongly suggest opting for the faster Ripjaws V DDR4-3000 or 3200 kit. It's a worthwhile investment:

Best of luck.
Psu isn't sufficient. Improve it as a gas, that's the best you can do. With this cooler, you could reach a boost clock of 4.2ghz at 75°C. For even higher overclocking, consider a custom water cooler (240mm) which would allow you to hit 4.5ghz at 70°C and 4.8 GHz at 70°C with 1.45 volts. Hope this helps.
Which GPU are you considering or choosing to stick with CPUs? If that's the case, you're all set - the 212 EVO can manage an upgrade up to around 4.6 with the 6700K. The power supply isn't exceptional but it's more than adequate for your current setup and even with a mid-range discrete GPU plus upgrades.
Tradesman1 is asking about the GPU choice, considering CPUs or iGPU. He mentions the 212 EVO can handle an upgrade up to around 4.6 with the 6700K and notes the PSU is adequate for the setup. He shares his experience with the 6700k reaching over 4.5ghz under water with a 240mm radiator, expecting temperatures near 70°C at stock speeds.
Tradesman1 explains that performance varies based on the individual CPU model, noting personal experiences with the 6600K reaching up to 4.6GHz with the 212 EVO. They caution against expecting a high score from someone who isn't a top performer, suggesting it's unpredictable with each cooler.
