just ordered this bad boy from newegg:

as well as a hyper 212 plus cpu cooler:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

i looked up the dimensions of everything and should have about 20-25mm of clearance once i have the hyper 212 installed on my mobo. however, on the case there is a 120mm case fan on the side and i've read that a hyper 212 will not fit if you leave the fan in place. ok, no problem, i can just move it down to the other spot for a fan on the side of the case except i have a 7870ghz edition to install which is about 115mm. so what i'm trying to ask (very unclearly i think) is: a) will the case fan still fit with the 7870 installed? i'm pretty sure it will but i'm not sure b) if it does fit in either spot, what's the minimum amount of clearance i should be looking for between either the case fan and the hyper 212 or between the 7870? thanks in advance guys

Looking into my standard size case, Much like the size of the redbone. You should have plenty of Clarence over your gpu to install it on the bottom. If not just take it out completely. Use programs to monitor temperature. You may not need a side fan. Otherwise, get online and find one that is a little thinner to add to the side.
