Mobo, CPU and Ram Upgrade

Thinking of updating these components. Already have the RX 480, creative soundcard, case, drives etc so no need to update these.
Thinking of Intel Core i5-6600K and AsRock Z170 Gaming K4 Skylake ATX Motherboard with 16Gb Ram.
Mobo :

Anything I need to consider here on the Mobo, looking at this one as its a best buy #2 mobo at the moment based on TomsHardware site.

if your not going to overclock save your self ?20 and go with the non k 6600
have no experience with asrock, but have had zero problems with the Asus or Gigabyte boards i've used over the last six or seven years
