I have the components listed clearly: skylake i5 6600k, asus z170 pro gaming mbo, corsair h100i cooling, crucial 16gb ddr4 ram 3200, gtx 1060 scl 3g.b., gtx950 ssd 2gb, and an intel 750 gb ssd. The power supply is 600w. I need to know how to properly clock this or if it's unnecessary. This is my first time with new hardware after a previous 4770k setup.

You have a k version CPU, why not overclock?
BTW why do you move from 4770k to 6600k?

I bought the new components to ensure I’m ready for upgrades, especially my processor. I’ve been keeping up with the trend because computers tend to become outdated around every five years.
