CPU, Ram, Motherboard and Cooler Good for Overclocking and completely compatible?

Why are you sidegrading between boards unless something is explicitly failing with one of your components?

The cost in parts really gains you nothing.

I bought a Thermaltake A31 case and wanted to get a blue board, plus I get USB 3.0 and Sata 6Gb/s. My plan is to sell the Foxconn Bloodrage Motherboard, the OCZ RAM, and the Thermalright CPU Cooler. Also, I would use the extra RAM (18 more Gigabytes than I currently have) for Virtual Machines. Would everything be compatible? Even if the RAM is 1.5V and 1866?

Thank you beers.
 
No worries. Buying 3x new RAM sticks is kind of awkward since the new platform has 4 DIMM slots instead of 6. That'd unbalance your capacity between channels and you may get inconsistent RAM performance.

What do you mean with new platform (which platform)?
 
It will all fit. Plus the Asus board has 6 slots, not 4. Reviews, seems to be a (ok) overclocking board.
 
Derp. For some reason was thinking 1150 or 1151 (probably because they would be more worthwhile of an upgrade ;) ) .
