Looking to upgrade my computer

So i found this nice package for a motherboard and cpu and im wondering if the cpu fan will fit onto the motherboard. Im pretty sure i have enough room in my case sense it's mid sized. https://www.amazon.com/Unlocked-Skylake-Processor-LGA1151-Motherboard/dp/B01N6QV740/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

The Cpu fan in question is this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E0EXYDC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KJ1YSTJLLMBK&coliid=I3OVL4SMN2LI65&th=1

Also let me know if you think the fan is too overkill lol.

They're all compatible, but as you have said that fan is absolutely huge.
I would recommend the Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.

Awesome and thanks. Also is that motherboard compatible with these ram sticks. They're the ones i currently have.

Unfortunately no. It only fits DDR4 modules. You can pick up a new 16 GB DDR4 3000 mhz ram kit with RGB LEDs that sync with the LEDS of that motherboard for about $110.
