I am building a budget gaming system. I already have:
MSI Z77A-G45
8 GB G.Skill ripjaws (the red ones with big heatsinks)
Coolermaster PSU 600W
Rosewill Challenger-U3 Case

Just waiting for enough money to buy i5-3570k and a CPU cooler. Looking at Hyper 212 EVO, plan to OC.
Two questions:
1) anyone know if on this motherboard the 212 EVO blocks the RAM slots?
2) anyone know if the Hyper 212 EVO will fit in this case?'

I've googled it and found conflicting answers.
Thanks!

Edit: I've ordered everything except the CPU and cooler....Just waiting for some help on which cooler to use.
