i would say change the ram to something cheaper, another 2x8gb sticks will save you some cash and pretty much no impact. and with the cpu, this is really just dependent on how u use your comp etc but i feel as tho a step down to the next K model cpu below your choice and change the cooler to liquid, but thats just what i would do, lots of people have different ideas about water cooling and cpu performance need, but its still a very nice choice.
EDIT: u might want to chuck an ssd in there, even if its a low end thee performance is very noticeable, even just the quick boot time makes the pc feel more powerful and responsive.

For gaming an i5 6600k is perfect. It would also allow you to get an ssd or a better cooler or maybe a better GPU. Do you really need the optical drive? In my experience it's cheaper to buy the downloads for games rather than the disk version.
