already upgraded my gpu to a zotac amp extreme 1080 and i overclocked it . I want to get a new cpu an intel Intel Core i7-6800K and i want to over clock it too so i am buying a Corsair CW-9060007-WW Hydro Series does it fit in the case ? and is it good for overclocking ?. I was going to buy a Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO but i heard i had to buy a new os is it true and if not does it even fit in my case can my old one do the overclocking ? i was thinking of buying a Corsair Ven kit4x8GB Vengeance is it any good. i also want to replace the hdd to a Seagate FireCuda ST2000LX001 2TB Interne Hybrid can i swap the in the swappable hdd and what isvideo memory ?

What are the Predator G3-710 specs? if you have an i7 already dont bother and if you have an i5, Wait on upgrading the cpu until march. Because AMD's Ryzen coming out and it looks like their on par with the Broadwell(i7 6800 series) and are nearly half the price. Intel will have to lower prices to compete.

32gb is overkill , 16gb is plenty. The H60 AIO will work anywhere you can have a 120mm exhaust spot. You can clone your current drive to the hybrid if you want. what is video memory?.... Its the memory that is used for the gpu and in your case with a 1080 you have 8gb.

If you upgrade to i7 6800K and above you will need a new mobo. The i5 you got, is it 6XXX CPU or lower?

Ryzen will need a new mobo anyway. Use cloning software/tool when you are switching hdds. Really helps.
