PC upgrade for gaming, what do you think of my build?

Hi, I am upgrading my current Asus Z77 Extreme 4 mobo and i5-3570 CPU considering my new GTX 1080 is bottlenecked by the CPU.

What do you think of this combo:
- i7-6700K
- Asus Z170 Pro Gaming mobo
- Corsair vengeance DDR4 2800 CMK16GX4M4A2800C16 16GB (4x4GB) or should I go for DDR4 3200?

Thanks for your help!

The difference in gaming from 2800 to 3200 DDR4 would be 1 or 2 FPS max, so you could save some money there. Regarding entire platform upgrade overall, you'll gain some FPS, but I wouldn't expect a big jump though some games will benefit from clockspeed/IPC more than others.
