Skylake overclocking i5 6600k
I wouldn't choose that mobo since it's a DDR3 board. It's better to opt for DDR4 with Skylake CPUs. This one seems to be okay:

Should I choose the Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 or the GIGABYTE Z170-HD3? The prices are almost the same, and I prefer the gaming K3 for its red color (it’s a nice touch) and 3.1 USB ports. Two at this price plus four 3.0 ports? Wow! Can I reach 4.5 GHz with this motherboard and the Hyper Evo 212 cooler with the i5 6600K? Are there any differences between the models when it comes to overclocking?
I need to decide between the Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 and the GIGABYTE Z170-HD3. The prices are almost identical, but I prefer the gaming version for its red finish (though it’s a bit silly, but it counts) and it has three USB ports. Two units at this price plus four 3.0 ports? Wow! Can I reach 4.5 GHz with this motherboard paired with the Hyper Evo 212 cooler and an i5 6600K processor? Are there any differences between these models when discussing overclocking? Thanks.
I’m quite satisfied with my Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI, i5 6600K Intel, and the two MSI GTX 970 graphics cards I installed in SLI mode along with 16 GB RAM. After manually adjusting the VCore to 1.355V in the BIOS, it’s been overclocked to 4.6 GHz. Under load, the maximum temperature stays at 54°C using a basic air cooler (single fan). It’s a solid budget-friendly board with all the essentials.
Here are my current, very stable BIOS settings for the i5 6600K on the Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI:
