Hello all.

Looking to upgrade my computer guts and was on tech buyer guru and found this build.
Total cost:
$2,019.00
CPU
Intel Core i7-6700K - $357.00
Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 - $177.00
Video Card
GeForce GTX 1080 8GB FE - $700.00
Memory
Corsair 2x8GB Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 Black - $81.00
Solid-State Drive

Case
Thermaltake Suppressor F-51 - $100.00
Power Supply

Optical Drive

My questions are, A) can I reuse my current case, a Coolermaster HAF 922 or will the components not fit in it? And B) can I reuse my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler or will the card get too hot with OCing? If I can reuse these items that will save me a few bucks which is always nice. Thanks for your input.
 
They both will work.

The 212 EVO will be good up to a moderate overclock. If you are aiming for the stars, you will need a beefier cooler.
