I have thought about swapping the i7-6700k with a i5-7600K or Ryzen 5 1600 to make it a little cheaper.

I also would say Ryzen 5. Gaming performance is acceptable, and will better support new API's, that bring more multithreaded titles. You are not going to tell the difference between the two with that graphics card regardless. Wouldn't use a hyper 212 though. A cryorig H7 is a bit better, and quieter.

For a gaming build that you are not willing to overclock, this should be more appropriate...

I would consider the Ryzen 5 too, as it has many years of CPU support left, with at least one refresh coming from AMD.

Intel's 1151 socket is at end of life now, with its next CPU line to release to a different motherboard/socket......it's also topped out at 4c/8t whereas AMD's AM4 platform allow for an 8c/16t upgrade years down the road if you ever wanted to stream your gameplay easily from the same machine.

 
Intel is plain better in gaming than Ryzen. Ryzen is yet to catch up with it. The benches all over the web shows the same. In future when it catches up, if it catches up is still a speculation. Not to mention, most current games are optimized for Intel.
