Inwin GT1 Black ATX Mid Tower Case and Cooler Master V8 GTS 82.0 CFM CPU Cooler height clearance could not be verified.

A error that just popped up on the machine im building would anybody be able to verify if this is an issue. I planned to buy my machine this evening and this error just popped up with pc part picker, and Im not sure how to go about finding out.. Don't want to purchase and not be able to finish building the machine. I appreciate your response, thank you for taking the time to help..

Update been researching any information i can find on it, According to the UK pc part picker the case is compatible with this cooler.
I also found a forum here where somebody had the same issue, they where convinced it would work but they never returned with the results.

•Supports CPU tower heatsink up to 187mm clear side panel (or 178mm mesh side panel)
The GTS V8 is 154 x 149.8 x 166.5mm (LxWxH) so no worries.

Your case is 8.2" width, the cooler is 6.6" tall. That leaves you 1.6". Minus 1/2" for back space, 1/2" for spacers and mobo. That leaves @ 1/2" of clearance above cooler. If the window is countersunk, you'll have less than that, Mebe 1/4".Cutting it very close for a mid tower with that monster cooler, but PCPartPicker did say it was compatible case/cooler
