I'd see if your case is wide enough to allow a 168 mm tall Noctua NH-D15 instead....; the GTX1060 will deliver the same frame rates regardless of cpu clock speeds, so why go more expensive water cooling when the NH-D15 is very quiet, and effective. It will be more than enough for the 8600K at stock and overclocked speeds...

(I'd try to get 3200 MHz RAM if possible)

I am sure this is a typo, and you ment 2666Mhz not 2226Mhz

so I will assume you live in the usa, do tell if not the case...
