For a first time build you seem to have done a decent amount of research, so well done on that front. What I will say though is that DDR4 RAM is about to hit mainstream, so you may want to have a second look at your motherboard, RAM and CPU combo.

An i5 6600K with the relevant motherboard and DDR4 RAM would make it more future proof.

Is DDR4 really going to make that big of an impact on performance in the relative future, say next few years?

Unless you want to use the integrated graphics core on the CPU, probably not at all

If you want your PC to be upgradable, you will have to take DDR4 nontheless, as all future Intel CPUs will use DDR4; AMD will make the transition to DDR4 with Zen (Q4 2016-Q1 2017), and starting then no more CPUs will be produced for PC for DDR3
