with this motherboard
asus z170m (http://www.lelong.com.my/asus-motherboard-intel-socket1151-z170m-plus-castleit-K2278745-2007-01-Sale-I.htm)

but im not sure which processor should i get.
i3 6100 or pentium G4400?

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G4400-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100 I3 6100 is alot better than G4400 more threads higher bandwidth higher overclocking potential . IT will be a good choice to buy I3 6100

can i3 6100 be overclock with the asus z170m motherboard?

Nope. Skylake OC'ing was shut down by Intel.

Nope it is not unlocked it is an locked processor however ASRock mobo overclocks locked skylake cpus by disabling external GPU.
