I decided to build a Mini ITX system for work. I ordered everything just to find that the CPU cooler I got will not work with the motherboard I got (It hits ram and GPU)

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130

I don't plan to OC this CPU and I don't think i really can with this mother board. So I am wondering is the CPU cooler really needed? I just figured it was a good idea with the case being so tiny. I would like to have one but it seems like everything I find will hit my PCIE slot and DIMM slots.

Okay cool thanks. I kind of figured that but I am very new to the small case market lol. It seems impossible to find a cooler that'll really work in this setup anyway
