Its compatible but doesn't make much sense.
The 6300 isn't a bang for buck purchase , it offers very little over the 6100 for the extra money , the 7100 is as fast & should be cheaper.

The motherboard is too expensive for running a locked i3 , you'll get a decent budget b250 board for half the price.
With the saving you could get a better GPU.
The PSU is mediocre at best , I'd pick something better quality.
12gb ram ?? Strange amount to have , what stick configuration ??

at least answer these for us for the time being;

- budget?
- Purpose; gaming? rendering? simple office/school work? etc.
- do you plan to overclock?
- do you plan to run two graphics card in SLI/CF?

CPU - stick with an i5 at most. you didn't exactly specify a budget, but considering you went with a GTX1050 ti, i imagine it's not a lot. if you're OCing, then you want a K-series processor. otherwise, you're not gonna be overclocking much, and getting a Z170/270 motherboard becomes a wasted investment. optionally, the Ryzen 5's are coming soon so think about taking those into consideration, or if you're willing, wait and see how the Ryzen 3 will do.

motherboard - Z270 if you're getting an intel Kaby Lake (i5-7600K at most) or Skylake (i5-6600K at most) CPUs. if you're considering a Z170 for the price, then it's better you stick with Skylake CPUs, to avoid issues with compatibility. in case you didn't know, if you rather consider getting an AMD Ryzen CPU, you're gonna want it's corresponding overclockable motherboard.

RAM - make sure the motherboard supports the RAM, and go with a dual channel kit. for gaming purposes, 2x4GB is plenty in most cases.

GPU - a 1050ti's good, but if you can afford it, there's the 1060 for consideration. I'm a little out of touch with current GPU performances, but consider looking at AMD's option in case there's a cheaper alternative.

PSU - DON'T cheap out on these. but don't overspend on it either. you haven't given us a budget, so depending on your build, the wattage will differ. naturally, you want something that's certified 80+ bronze at least, and of reliable build quality. unfortunately, i'm out of touch in this department as well, so hopefully someone here can fill you in on what's good nowadays.

a VERY rough idea of what you're looking to get. Again, I'm a little behind on some of the current tech, so maybe someone else will be helpful in tidying this recommendation up;

I honestly wouldn't entertain the i3 k series , it's an obscene amount of money for not much extra performance.

On a budget go for the Pentium g4560 & a rx470 - this is a blistering good value for money build.
