yes they will all fit.
get a cpu cooler to is u wanna overclock a lot. the retail one that comes with the cpu will prob get u up to about 4.2ish. would prob say a all-in-one water cooling one cuz of the vengance RAM.

ok thanks

yes i was going to see how the original cooler would do, thanks for clearing that up before i tried

i will most likely be getting a all-in-one water cooling kit in the near future, any advice as to which kit would be good for that? thanks

It would have made sense to buy the low profile vengenace RAM. Did you buy the stuff with the aggressive "spikey looking" heatspreaders?

If you don't have LP RAM it can be tricky to mount aftermarket heatsinks (air coolers) as stinger has mentioned.

Top tip now incase you didn't know. Do NOT connect your storage drive until you install the OS to the SSD. Head into the BIOS, under the sata options enable ACHI and set the boot order to DVD first. Install your OS to the SSD, once done you can power down and hook up the storage HDD.
