Motherboard is fine

Why are you going to run a i5 6600k at stock speeds and buy a Liquid water cooler

Also im not 100% sure but Seidon's pumps are pretty loud compared to others

Alright, well as the motherboard is pretty overkill, your purely paying for looks

Asus Maximus 8 Hero Alpha is a sollid choice yes.

Its not cheap of course, but it has some decent components on it, like an fully digital VRM implementation from IR.

And yeah that costs money.
