1. nice build (but why not skylake?)

2. honestly, the bottleneck will be your wifi, the only dependence on the adapter is 5GHz vs 2.4GHz and the interface (PSIe vs USB)

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

I know there are going to be many people who disagree with me but I am currently using  5GHz adapter via usb 3.0 and I love it it is just as fast as my Cat5e Ethernet, I wouldn't go as far as bottleneck as it won't be limiting anything as you can game smoothly, if your router is fast enough for the adapter.

Which processors support skylake?

uhhh...

 

Skylake is the architecture for the newer intel processors, the 6xxx series.

 

the 4790k is Haswell

 

so you want the 6700k, with a Z170 board and DDR4 RAM, increases overall price by like $100, but its the new tech

Which Z170 board, there are 4: 

Asus Z170-P D3 LGA1151 ATX 4 64GB

  •  

 (0)   $116.99 Add ASRock Z170 Gaming K4/D3 LGA1151 ATX 4 64GB

 (0)   $139.99 Add Asus Z170M-E D3 LGA1151 Micro ATX 4 64GB

 (0)   $106.99 Add

Also will the new motherboard still be as good for overclocking and everything else the other one was, and should I go with 2133, 2400, 2666, 2800, or 3000 DDR4 ram?
