WD 1TB 7200RPM shouldn't be that expensive. It should be around RM200-210.
Don't use the 6700K processor on H170 mobo. K processors are for overclocking purpose and you can't overclock 6700K on H170. The suitable mobo chipset is Z170 instead of H170.
Try mid tower chassis such as NZXT s340, slick design, save some costs.
PSU overkill, use a PSU between 550W-650W such as Super Flower Leadex Gold 550/650 @ RM410/RM450.
If you don't want to overclock CPU, use Intel i7 6700 (not K), then stick with H170 mobo.
The amount of cost saved shall get you a GTX 1070.

Yeah, and to add, that ssd is M.2 ssd which is very expensive. Unless you are doing some rendering or heavy editing, you are better off with Kingston SSD like UV400 (around RM300) which is the usual recommendation by sifus here. If you want a quality ssd, go for Samsung 750 evo 250gb which cost around RM349.
For PSU, you can opt for Superflower Leadex Gold 550W or Seasonic M12II evo 620W for RM409, both are solid PSU.
For CPU cooler, a stock one should be fine. If you still want one, can consider CM Hyper 212X or Cryorig H7 both at around RM189.
The HDD that you quote is WD Black 1tb, which is very expensive. You can opt for cheaper HDD like WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda and/or invest more on SSD with bigger capacity.
Anyway, this is just my opinion. U can ask other sifus here though. They helped me a lot when i want to build my first rig.

Few ways to save money:
1. Get 6700 instead of 6700K if you don't plan to overclock (recommended for your budget and usage).
2. Get Value RAM with 2133MHz speed instead of spending money on high performance RAM (like 2400MHz) which eventually will get downclocked to 2133MHz automatically due to lack of support from chipset (only Z170 supports > 2133MHz).
3. Get a SATA based SSD instead of M.2 unless clearance is an issue, you can save up to RM 150 by going back to SATA form factor.
4. Not necessary need to get 750W, a decent 500W is more than enough for your specs.
5. Aftermarket CPU cooler is not needed for your build (assuming you are going to get 6700).
You can use i7 6700K on H170 mobo, just cannot overclock, meaning it will run on stock 4.0GHz speed (4.2GHz turbo single core).
