going to be using a 6600k

Of course. 6600k will OC nicely. Just read some guides how not to damaged anything in a process and enjoy the fruits of higher frame rates and smoother game play.

I had my i5 2500k for five years. Only recently did I have the need to overclock due to upgrading my gpu to a gtx 1070. I wouldn't do it if you know nothing about it. I would wait and get 3-5 years of life out of the system, then start to learn how to overclock when it is necessary.

It's only has 4 CPU phases people are saying you need 6+4 is a minimum is this true?

Well more phases is always better especially if you plan on pushing your overclock really hard, since it will distribute load better and heat across, less stress on the board.

will a 4+2 handle a skylake at 4.5 GHZ @ 1325 volts

I've read on Asus Tuf they got it up to 4.9ghz on 7700k, keep in mind silicon lottery, no all overclock are the same/ voltage/heat, overall stability will be affected.

Yes, Now Gigabyte motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. It is really a good idea.

Yeah I heard that too. Apparently their auto overclocking feature doesn't go as "berserk" in auto voltage, like it used to.
