The case looks kind of average, probably no cable management or other goodies.

What are you planning on doing with this computer?
 
Oh I didn't know that. But does the power supply supply enough power? And I plan to use it for rendering and gaming, and longterm use.
 
Yes, the power supply is enough and its a good brand.

For rendering, I would go with 8Gb of 1600mhz RAM, or even 16Gb.
 
about 45€ or 60$
Also where can I buy a WiFi chip, I already have somekind of Gigabyte WiFi adapter but I don't if it will work?

So long as the case comes with enough stock fans, it should be fine. The HAF 912 is a great case for cooling. You may want to get an after-market CPU cooler though as the CPU coolers Intel ship with their CPUs are very small and really for an i5 or an i7 you want an after-market cooler anyway whether you are overclocking or not.

And I'll be buying it 2 or 2 and a half months from now so prices are bound to drop.
So any last thoughts, or should I change anything?

Sounds good to me BUT if you want to save some money then why not drop the i7 2600k and go for an i5 2500k? I know the i5 2500k has a slightly lower clockspeed and no hyper-threading, but do you need the hyper-threading? If not, then you can save at least £60-80 on that alone. Also, if you're not going to be overclocking, why are buying a 2600K? That's an unlocked CPU which is great for overclocking, but if you're not overclocking then just pick up the i7 2600 and save some money there (about £10-20). Same goes for if you buy an i5 2500K, if you don't need to overclock, don't get the 'K' edition. The i7 2600 and the 2600K are exactly the same CPU, except the 2600K is unlocked, and the same goes for the 2500 and the 2500K. Other than that looks sweet, but I would upgrade to an SSD in the future.

I think an i5 2500 would be just as good, I use a 760 for video editing/rendering and I can render videos pretty fast. I'd spend more money on the RAM and get 16GB so long as the software he is using is 64-bit, and then save a good £60 on the CPU. I think if the OP really must have an i7, he should go for the 2600 over the 2600K for the reasons I stated earlier.
 
I will be getting this computer about two months from now so maybe the i7 will drop in price over that time.
Also one of my friends told me that I have to check my memory so it is DIMM memory how do I do that
Also what does the i7 have over i5?
