Ok, so I got a 6yo i7 920 which is gonna get replace with the following parts:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU)= £58.99
• 1 x Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060024-WW)= £79.99
• 1 x Intel Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £197.99
• 1 x Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £164.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B30= £89.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B32= £99.95

Total: £703.00
(includes shipping: £11.10)
​

and as I would like to use my old parts which are working fine, I would like to know if there is any compatibility issue or not.

Here are the components that I would like to use:

-Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W SLI
-Antec P183 Advanced Super Mid Tower
-Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 only to reuse the 2x Noctua 120x25mm NF-P12 Quiet Fan 54.3 CFM
-Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5

So here are my questions:

-Will the motherboard and cooler fit on the case? Or I will have to do some DIY on the case behind the cpu place to anchor/fit the cooler block?

-I was thinking as well to use the 2x NF-P12 fans on radiator instead of the ones that come by default, I know the performance will be worse (airflow: 62.74 CFM corsair vs 54.325 CFM noctua and SP: 3.1 mm/H20 corsair vs 1.68 mm/H2O) but the quietness will increase, so how much will I gimp the cooler if I would like to achieve an OC of 4 to 4.5Ghz let's say?

-Will my PSU of 650W be enough for OC of 4.5Ghz + the Radeon 6970 which if I remember correctly was consuming pretty much a lot...

-And last question, as you may notice there are 2 memory RAM picked, which memory to pick up? 3000 or 3200? taking into account that they will get OC as well, I would like to know which one will give less issues with the Gigabyte motherboard and system in general?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers

I would like to use the H80 and let the noctua for other project, also, can the brackets of the noctua that I use for the lga 1366 socket be reused on the 1156 socket?

Anyone out there with an H80 AIO could tell me the following measures:

fan+rad+fan total width and also how much space do the brackets require behind the motherboard; I ask this because I think on the Antec P183 I have like 0.5 to 1cm between the motherboard and the case.
