Thoughts on this build?

This is the build I'm currently looking at buying, I'd like some feedback and potential improvements that could be made to it if possible. I'd ideally like to keep the build under £1000, but I wouldn't be against going slightly over (the overall price is a bit over £1000 as I write this - this is because Amazon seem to have stopped selling the i5 6600k directly - I'm going to assume this isn't intentional, and should be fixed eventually). So yeah, I'd appreciate any advice, it's my first time doing this but I do talk to my friends about PCs all the time and use a laptop for gaming, but this will be my first PC, so I can use all the advice I can get

Why not just find a motherboard that already support Wifi, instead of using an adapter like that.

Will you be using it only for gaming? Do you do video editing? what resolution/refresh rate do you play at?

[Gutawer]

@Katsukana - I tried looking for a mobo that supports WiFi by default, but I couldn't find any on PCPP that were also MicroATX, so I just went with the card.

@gtx1060=value - That's definitely something to consider, but I want an SSD on the build and a 2tb HDD, which would put that a bit over what I want to pay. I'll probably use that RAM instead of what I've currently got in, though.

@Cereal5 - mostly gaming, yep. I don't do any video editing, and I'll be using 1920x1080 with 75hz refresh rate, but I'm perfectly happy with 60fps on games. I don't play large amounts of AAA graphically taxing games, so a large resolution with high FPS isn't a priority for me.

I wouldn't just look at PCPP for parts, they have a bigger variation on amazon/newegg. May take longer time but I think it is worth it.

Changed out the RAM for a slightly faster speed and it was 20 euros cheaper, spent those 20 euros on a slightly better GPU, and switched out the wifi adapter for one with a better rating. but that was just me, you can get whatever adapter you want lol.

 

The build itself that you made is a solid build though

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/MYH48d/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2b3000c15 - I was thinking of getting this 3000MHz RAM actually, which is about £20 more than the one you suggested, but has a far higher speed to justify it, I feel. Also, while that wireless card might have a higher rating, it seems to only support up to 802.11n whereas the one I was planning to get supports 802.11ac (PCPP says it doesn't, but it does), so that one would probably perform worse even with higher ratings.
