I have the following components:

    Fractal Design Define case
    ASUS X-79 Deluxe LGA 2011 Motherboard
    i7-4930 CPU


I want to get 4x8 RAM so I can add 4 more in the future (8 DIMMs). What CPU cooler should I get (may overclock slightly) and what RAM that will not interfere with the cooler?

I was going to get Kingston Hyper Beast but the heatsinks are large and do not know what cooler would work.

Anything low profile, without the fins.

You mean low profile RAM with no heatsinks?

What CPU cooler do you recommend?

Yes, low profile RAM. With DDR3, those fins are mainly look and feel, rather than a performance/cooling need.

For the cooler? Coolermaster Hyper 212 or Noctua.
