I'm about to buy a bunch of items to upgrade my pc, the asus sabertooth 990fx, amd fx 8350, and the hyper 212 evo.

I currently have this case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119271) and i am wondering if it(evo 212) will fit. thanks in advance

Solution
CPU cooler height allowance : 163.9mm / 6.5 inch < Your case allows

159 mm < 212 height

Yes it will fit.
