So im thinking;
I5 7600
EVGA 600W 80+ white
Gtx 1060 6Gb
ASRock B250M pro 4
WD Blue 1 Tb 7200 RPM
Corsair vengance DDR4 8 GB
Thermaltake versa H15 case

I intend to play all games, including AAA ones, and was wondering if this is good enough to last at least 4 years and if there is any changes i could make.

Also would this connect to wifi and what part would i need?

Okay, here is what I price your build out to be, approx. $840.

The big concern here for future proofing is the number of threads. Currently 4 threads is all that you need but that may change in the near future. For this reason I recommend looking at a Ryzen 5 1600 build. This will perform better in CPU intensive games requiring multi-thread performance. As well the 1600 can be overclocked while the plain 7600 cannot. Here is a BF1 video showing relative performance with a GTX 1060-6GB, notice that in general the 7600 is maxing out while the 1600 is in the 50-60% utilization. The Ryzen build also allows for faster RAM.

As far as onboard Wifi, the Pro4 does not have it. You have to either add a card or use a USB stick, I like cards as they have better antennas. But you can move a stick from computer to computer. This one allow for the antenna to be moved around for better reception and has bluetooth connectivity as well

Not sure what you are saying. Is the i5-6400 worth upgrading? Depends on what you play, it is still a valid CPU in many cases so replacing would depend on what is the usage. Is it the best CPU? No, but that is like saying that all other cars are no good because they are not a Maserati. If it works for what you do then it is good.
