Will there be bottlenecking?

[MarcelV]

Hi i want to buy a i5 6600K with a evga gtx 1060 sc with a MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H170 Gaming M3 motherboard. Will there be any bottlenecking?

No, though you are using an unlocked processor on a locked board.

Should I rather buy a z170 motherboard? That is the same price as this one?.. Is there any need to overclock the i6 6600K cause im going to buy the cooler master 212 cooler

You dont need to OC it, but you could save a little money and go with a locked option like a 6500.

If you would rather have the slightly higher clock speeds, and dont want the specs on a Z170 board, the 6600k is fine.

I don't think people understand what a bottleneck is. Just a term they heard.
In your case, the 1060 is a major bottleneck as it will never allow your CPU to be fully utilised. 2x 1080s will be able to use the 6600k closer to it's potential, thus creating less of a bottleneck.

Should i buy a Z170 motherboard to overclock the i5 6600K. And will the cooler master 212 keep it cool?

This is actually the opposite of a bottleneck.
The 1060 is a weaker component compared to the 6600k, that is a given. However, if you run an CPU intensive task (or game) the processor would easily reach full utilization. Conversely if the CPU was a bottleneck on a GPU the graphics card would never reach full utilization as the processor could not supply it with enough info no matter how hard its pushed.

I"ll just go with the msi Gaming Intel Skylake H170 Gaming M3 motherboard

If you go with the H170 board, just get an i5 6500.

 

[MarcelV]

im going for the i5 7500

Then you are going to want an H270 board. H170 would require a bios update.
