1. Yes

2: I'd swap the H80i for a big air cooler, 120mm AIOs aren't worth the money. everything else looks good

 

3: NONONONO STOP POSTING PICTURES I'TS ONLY GOING TO MAKE IT HARDER

Why are you not getting the 6700K with that Z series mobo?  it is clocked higher from the factory and can be overclocked.

 

Also, I assume you are getting 2 sticks of memory, but your original post did not make that clear.  If you are not, I would suggest that you do.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Suggestion : Add stick or change board ?

If you get a good one like the H100i yes... but the 80 is actually worse than some decent air coolers (Linus did a video proving it)

That's a good board, I would just go with the 6700K and get the most out of it.  Especially since you are planning to liquid cool - that would be totally unnecessary unless you are overclocking, which you will want the 6700K for

 

And I would add a stick.  You could double your memory, or just get 2 of half the size.  Either way, you just want to make sure you take advantage of your dual channel CPU
