Hmm, you need to start over it looks like.

You don't need an i7, that will add $100 to your GPU budget.

Your motherboard selection doesn't allow overclocking, so no need to buy a K series chip. Either get a straight i5-6500 or the 6600k and match that to a Z170 board, then a CPU heatsink makes sense. Cryorig H7 is popular, Hyper Evo 212 is usually a tad cheaper.

You should buy memory in matched pairs to enable dual channel memory.

Doesn't effect gaming performance, but it is hard to not include an SSD in any contemporary build.

Is overclocking really that important ? and is it not dangerous ?

Well you can drop the SSD, but I think you are going to have to re-consider a lot of this to get in under under budget.

And there is no case, OS, or any peripherals, not much left to strip out. Do you already have a storage drive you might be able to use temporarily?

A non-modular power supply, no SSD, and a slightly cheaper motherboard. Not much left, but to drop to a lesser CPU, which I think is a poor return on investment. If you didn't notice I added the ideal price for the RX480, though I think they are averaging closer to $250 right now.

Its still $50 overbudget but should get a little cheaper if you get a 4Gb 480 when they are in stock.

Solution
Chipsets and motherboards are feature platforms. They vary in price based on things you might need. 4-10 USB ports, 2-10 SATA connections (RAID), SLI, Crossfire, PCIe expansion slots, memory channels, etc. With Intel, only the Z and X class boards get you overclocking.

Frequency is almost a direct comparison of relative performance in a given CPU architecture and generation.

i5-6500 is a quad core running at 3.2-3.6Ghz.
i7-6700k is a quad core with hyperthreading running at 4.0-4.2Ghz (4 physical cores, 8 logical) plus a little extra cache memory.

Basically you are looking at a 10-15% increase in gaming performance going from the i5 to the i7 at the cost of over $100. For other tasks that involve more parallel processing, the i7 is significantly faster. Also helps get you that last bit of performance out of a high end GPU.

Since you are looking at a more mid-range (though still excellent) GPU, the i5 is more fitting to your needs.

Why 700 ? 467 + 200 = $667, which is 606 euros
Also build is stable i mean no issues will be with it ?
