@"tiny voices" makes a good point.

But for now, I will say that mixing RAM like that can lead to complications. Even though they are the same brand and model, that does not necessarily mean the batches are created equally nor are they tested to work with one another. So if you're going that route, you're better off buying a single kit with 2x8GB for 16GB RAM.

It's for gaming indeed my friend, hopefully 60 fps on BF4 ultra at 1080p
The only overclock I will do is to the CPU

Will I get around 4.2 Ghz while overclocking that?
And do you thing the Asus Maximus VI hero will do the job?

I assume you are overclocking as a hobby? It isn't going to change your gaming performance at all.

Forgot to say that is the CPU Liquid cooling ok? Or should I stick with a Noctua fan (and maybe some thermal paste)?

If you are planning to do serious editing, get an i7, but no unless you are encoding LARGE 1080p projects overclocking will make no difference. It is a hobby.

You DO NOT need a case anywhere near that big. Those are really for custom water loops.
