I think the i5 is a better processor for the price, this go pro footage will not be in a major motion picture right? so you will not need the power of hyperthreading inorder to work with the footage, for basic video editing such as cutting out sections, and tweaking sound, the i5 4690k (or non K ) will be fine. I would recommend however, a 2 TB hard drive, as videos take up alarming amounts of space. for ram, you can save money, and get this ram which is just as capable http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-2x8GB-1866MHz/dp/B00J8E910Y/ref=sr_1_23?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1420766049&sr=1-23&keywords=RAM
A good case to house this all would be a mid atx case as they are large enough for this motherboard, but not too large. one such as this is...

A good case to house this all would be a mid atx case as they are large enough for this motherboard, but not too large. one such as this is rather barebones in termas of frills, but does everything a computer case needs to do quite well. http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Source-210-Computer-Black/dp/B005869A7K/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420766223&sr=1-1&keywords=nzxt+source
I have used it in a few builds, and was highly satisfied, so were the customers.
for a wireless adapter, there is this, http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B0079XWMEI/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420766327&sr=1-7&keywords=wireless+network+adapter however, if you have an Ethernet cable, I would recommend that, as there is less set up involved. also, you will have to let windows get its own drivers for the card, not use the cards drivers, as they disagree with windows 8, no performance loss is to be found it seems though.
It seems that motherboard is this one? if so, it is a no go, as it has no pcie x1 slot. while heavily disputed, it my opinion, it is rather unwise to attempt to plug a pcie x1 device into a 16x slot, as it is very easy to mess up the pin alignment. how about this motherboard instead? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130710
I have use a very similar one in two build with great success.
