Can I Overclock on this setup?

[termonator28]

So I'm a first time builder, and I really want to be able to get everything I can out of this $700 build:
CPU- Intel Core i5-6500
MOTHERBOARD- MSI H170M Pro
RAM- Corsair 3000MHz C15
GPU- Gigabyte 1060 windforce OC
STORAGE- WD 1TB 7200 RPM
CASE- DIYPC DIY-N8-W White USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with 2 x Blue LED Fans (1 x 120mm LED fan x front, 1x120mm LED fan x rear) Pre-installed
PSU- EVGA 600w B1 80+ BRONZE

Although this is my first build, I'd like to get the most out of it and overclock in the near future. If I can, what parts can I overclock, and if not, what parts would you recommend to replace it so that I can? Is this an overall good setup? Is there a good overall how-to to overclocking?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get it right the first time.
Thank you all for any answers!

No.

Intel "k" CPU's are the only ones suitable for overclocking. Get the i5 6600k.
Intel Z170 chipset motherboards are the only ones suitable for overclocking. Personally I would get GIGABYTE GA-Z170M-D3H. Nice cheap board gets stuff done.
Not sure how good B1 is, I would get EVGA G2. Much improved quality.

Thanks! I'm thinking of just getting the i7 6700k now. would you still recommend that board?

Also, you'd need a better PSU. That ones fine if you don't plan to OC your CPU, but if you do, the EVGA Supernova G2 is a solid, nicely priced unit. What Justiceinacan says is also very important. You'd also need a different mobo, that one has a H170 chip set, for OCing skylake, you need a Z170. All these premiums and better quality parts needed for overclocking add up very fast, effectively raising the price of your build by roughly 130 dollars. If this is okay with you, you still need all the know how and probably more importantly, patience to do it, overclocking is a very time consuming and involved task (I say patience is more important because you have to start leaning somewhere). One thing you can do to lower the price as it is or take less of a hit to get the OCing components is to get different RAM. That clock speed on it has no noticeable, real world difference to a cheaper 2133 MHz kit. Unless you'll be doing some heavy 3D rendering, get the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory, you'll never see even a fraction of a frame in difference (okay, maybe a quarter of a frame). https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PL2rxr/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2a2133c13
Also, I hope that's the 6 GB 1060 you're looking at.

Thanks for all the great info. I have like a $1000 budget, so I figured I'd go with the i7 6700k, and maybe even liquid cooling. Would you still recommend that same motherboard and PSU? Also, which GPU would you recommend? Thanks!

This will allow you to OC everything in the system. If you need to buy an OS, i can switch some tings around to accommodate that.

 

[termonator28]

Thanks! I really like that setup, but I love liquid cooling, the looks and the performance (I've heard). Can this be accommodated into this setup without going over $1000? Thanks, again.

 

[Justiceinacan]

Liquic cooling doesn't get to be superior until it's a custom loop. That costs hundreds of bucks more and needs to be assembled by you.

There's closed loop coolers available but they're really just direct exhaust from the CPU ; as in, a fan will run quieter, more reliable (aio's can break = rip system) cheaper (120mm AIO = $60, Cryorig H7 = $30)

The ONLY reason I'd pick liquid over air is if I was forced into lower profile options, like a tight mini-itx case or my current case, Corsair Air 240 for instance.

I was able to fit liquid cooling in at the expense of the mobo. Not as pretty, simaler in performence. If you don't like the cse I choose (I think thats the most personal part of buildng) you can replace it with another from this lest, thwy fir within your budget: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#s=1&X=0,5016

 

[termonator28]

Thanks. I guess I'll just go with air. My original plan was to make a custom loop, but I don't think I can stay in my budget range if I were to do so.

 

[termonator28]

Thank you, everybody, you've been very helpful. I can't wait to build my first PC!

 

[Ne0Wolf7]

Yeah, costom loops cost a lot. Good luck!
