A better motherboard, 1600mhz is fine you won't notice a difference with anything higher and a pair of homeplugs rather than a wireless card.

I would get the z87-a instead, the one you originally selected was a micro-atx board with less expansion slots. The Maximus and z87-a are both fine and should offer the same performance gaming wise. Go with the cheapest one :) are you planning to SLI? What's your budget for the gpu? (Assuming you haven't bought it yet)
