Does an 1155 socket waterblock fit a 1151?
Is the mobo overkill? Don't need SLI/Xfire?

EDIT: Didn't mention. Will be overclocking it obviously

Thanks

looks like good stuff, check the ram can clock to like maybe 3000 or 3200Mhz though so that you can simply select the xmp profile and do that, my ram is corsair stuff which clocks to 3000MHz just by using the xmp profile, 3000 and 3200 (OC) ram seems to be about the sweet spot, any higher a freq than that is basically a waste of money and may even run slower as far as I have read

edit: I just checked, that ram doesnt look like it will clock to 3000 or 3200, i could be wrong though.
 
Any other suggestion? Kind of impulse decision as I'm late picking my Christmas stuff and am tempted by the sale. Usually research a lot more
 
I would just go with the cheaper 2400MHz kit. You won't notice any real world difference between 2400MHz and 2666MHz.

The Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI is a bit cheaper. Check out the link below for a review and overclock guide courtesy of Stulid.
