Looking for opinions / advices (Skylake mITX build)

I would like to have your opinions on the computer I am about to build for myself. The part I am the most worry about is the motherboard. Having reliable wireless ac is important for me. I will probably wait a month or two before I buy a graphics card (gpu budget around 300$, advice are welcome).

 

This will be my main computer, I mostly browse the web but I also like to play recent games. 

 

Thanks!

Seems fine, I would suggest a 970 for a GPU due to its low thermals and power consumption.

Just to give a bit more informations, 

I'm in Canada so my budget for gpu will be around $225 usd

when I game it's in 1080p (In the last year I played GTA 5, Fallout 4, and some older titles)

my total budget is around $900 usd

I choose to upgrade to an mitx build because I want a small pc that fits on my desk (I presently have a corsair 600T on the floor)

 

My current pc (I will sell to a friend to finance the new build, I only keep the monitor):

  • CPU: i7 2600k
  • Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Deluxe
  • RAM: G.Skill 8Gb (2x4Gb)
  • GPU: MSI HD7770
  • Case: Corsair 600T (White Edition)
  • PSU: Corsair HX850
  • Display: AOC I2369VM
