First PC Component Help

[AlexW773577]

After taking some amount of time to look through and decide and change around on some parts I think I have found a pretty great build. My one concern would be looking at the motherboard  the ASRock Z270 Extreme 4, I noticed that it didn’t have built in wifi, wifi being something I’d need considering I don’t have wired ethernet in the room I’m planing to use for my pc. So I was wondering if some thing like the TP-Link N300 Wireless PCI-Express Adapter (TL-WN881ND) would work in giving me wifi. Also, my pc won’t have a optical drive to install the driver disk that I think comes with the network card. So without the optical drive, how would I have to go about getting the wifi working? But besides that, my new components list is as follows
Motherboard : ASRock Z270 Extreme 4 or ASRock Motherboard Z270 Taichi or ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC or ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E
(As you can tell, I’m still very undecided about which mobo to get)            
CPU : Intel Core i5-7600K Kabby Lake Quad-Core 3.8GHz CPU  
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED
(I really like the red led cooler to go with my black white and red led them for my build, but I’ve heard the red led version I’ve heard is a little more unreliable)
RAM : G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 RAM or Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz (PC4 19200) C16 Memory Kit - Red                                 
(For the RAM, I’m trying to decide which one of the 2, since I’m not sure if one will allow for CPU Cooler clearance)
Case : Cooler Master MasterBox 5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Graphics Card : MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB ARMOR OCV1 Graphics Card
(Great graphics card from what I’ve heard, and goes with my color scheme)
Solid State Drive : PNY CS1311 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Hard Drive : Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
PSU : EVGA 650 GQ 80+ GOLD 650W Semi-Modular Power Supply
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link - TL-WN881ND PCI-Express x1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter or None
(Depending on the mobo I get and your recommendations)
Monitor : Asus VX238H 23.0" (1920x1080) Gaming Monitor
(A good 23in monitor that goes on sale quite often, and I think it will be good enough)
Keyboard & Mouse : Cooler Master Devastator II Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse
I am still very undecided on a few things as you can see above, and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could give me some guidance toward what the final components should consist of, as well if i should change some parts around before i order everything. Also i don't know if i should spend the extra, what $15 getting a static wristband and thermal paste or now. i know cooler master provides paste, but is it any good? and is the anti static something i should get just to be safe? Feedback on all of this would be great and i really appreciate the help! Thanks!

what is your budget? larger, higher res monitors are (almost) always better. The devastator keyboard is ok but the mouse has an office mouse sensor. The 1060 is not as good as the 580. Get a Ryzen 5 1600 instead of the 7600k, it is much more future proof

[Anghammarad]

You could get a generic PCIe 1x Wireless card. They aren't that expensive. Just be sure Windows 10 can use it. Some older models aren't supported anymore so they can't be installed using Windows 10.

around $1200, give or take

Your build looks a bit unbalanced given how new tech and Ryzen has been released, don't worry there is always a fix, and I am willing to do it, give me a moment

So here is what I changed.

1. Ryzen 5 1600 is a much better option against an overclockable i5 7600k. They perform almost the same in gaming as an i5 but edge out in video editing and productivity task due to having extra 2 cores. And they also cost less. They can also be overclocked too.

The cooler is stock. It is very good so no need to change it.

 

 

2. Changed to an SU800. Your SSD has nothing wrong with it but I thought for few cents more you get free 8GB of storage so why not.

 

3. Seasonic M12II PSU frankly is a bit of a downgrade but not that it is bad or anything, it was just designed around old architecture and stuff like that but in return you get fully modular cables. Efficiency wise a Gold rated and Bronze rated will save you few dollars each year so that's almost nothing. It's great for a big company that have their PC up running 24/7. Oh and it costs less

 

4. RX 580 8GB is a better choice, performs same as a GTX 1060 6GB and wins in newer titles that benefits from DX12, it is a better buy than 1060 while costing the same. Here this video will show you why. Also I kept an overall blackish theme for you.

 

5. Monitor has Freesync and is a 75Hz. It is a nice feature especially when you have AMD card like RX 580

http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/freesync

 

6. Keyboard is mechanical. MX Brown. It feels way better than membrane.

 

7. I picked a random Corsair mouse. They work fine, has some extra buttons to use. I don't think you need more. And Corsair peripherals are generally great.

Nice build @deXxterlab97. Though I want to point out something...

 

Ryzen 1600 also provide stabler framerates compared to i5s which is more important than average framerates in gaming. Also, only the Ryzen 1700 has RGB lighting stock cooler while the Ryzen 1600 doesn't.

Having faster ram would help a lot. Something like 3000mhz or 3200mhz from G.skill they make a set that is ryzen compatable so it could get to 3000mhz or 3200mhz forget when ryzen struggles with speeds. 

Maybe look a a xm8 from soulX it's a pretty nice mouse for $20 or so I've been using it for about a year and dosnt feel cheap. Also has a program that comes with it for changing leds the key binding of the mouse custom dpi from 1000ish and up to 4000. Also the program has abilities for marcos and stuff.

well in regards to the ryzen 5 1600, i know it has 6 cores and all but why specifically is that so important? like would it give me better fps if i had discord open while running a game? and if so will it be that much more noticeable then the 4 cores of a i5 7600 ?

also what about the ryzen 5 1600x?

The 1600x and 1600 is the same cpu just binning but if you overclock the 1600 or 1600x they both overclock pretty much the same. Both overclock to 4ghz most the time. And as a lot of in game fps and benchmarks the r5 beats the i5. If you want to you could go with a 4 core r5 but a 6 core would help for the futuremost likely. The 4 and 6 core different is up to you I would personally take the 6 core but ryzen 5 dose beat the i5s and I think r5s are slightly cheaper maybe. Long story short go with a r5 over an i5 and the choice between 4 and 6 core is up to you your bugget and what you are doing.
