Hi all, First post on this site so I apologize if I trip on any etiquette you may have here, I did read the rules. I'm asking about multiple pc parts but they're all questions regarding connections to the motherboard, so sorry if this is in the wrong place

Anyway, I'm very new to pc building but I was wondering if these parts would be compatible with eachother, Here are the links
Ram
CPU
Mobo
GPU
I was also wondering if this cpu fan would fit on the mobo
CPU Fan

I've done most of the research I think I need to, but I have a bad habit of overlooking small details that make the difference between being in a game with new pc parts, and being on a return policy screen, so I'm just asking for confirmation before I take the plunge.

For the cpu I chose a mobo with the LGA 1151 socket as Needed, for the ram (upgrading to 16gb in the near future) I chose a board that supports 2133 DDR4 memory with 288 pins, for the gpu I made sure the board has a Pcie 3.0 slot, and was sure to choose a micro ATX board, which should fit the case I'm using. (I know the huge gpu fits in the case despite the mobo size). A question about the mobo size, I was previously using a mobo that was 9.6 inches across on both sides, but the new board seems to be slightly smaller on one size. I know it will technically fit in the case but I'm worried there won't be a screw hole where I need one to be, is it safe to drill one in or do cases usually have more holes that needed to fit different sizes?

Also will there be any bottlenecks here or am I good? Thanks in advance, the other parts are all taken care of.
 
Solution
If everything adheres to ATX standards, hole placements will be same regardless of MB size. Cases may have some seemingly "extra" mounting holes to accommodate some non standard MBs.Make sure ou remove any standoffs from these.
It doesn't look like there would be any bad bottleneck.
That CPU cooler will fit MB as it has socket 1151 mounts, I suppose you checked it's height and that it will fit the case ?

Thanks a ton for your answer, I have decided to buy a new case so that I can use ATX instead of micro ATX. The case I was using is HP so the motherboard would not have fit anyway, due to non industry standard standoff placement, I had to learn that the hard way. It's good to know there wont be any bottleneck's, as I'm still getting the same parts as before. thank you for your answer Mike :)
