Mobo/RAM/CPU Cooler problems.

Solution
Its hard to say for sure without having the same motherboard and cooler but i do have a similar msi 970 motherboard with the EVO and i will say 98% certain you will have just enough clearance.
Also its not a bad motherboard but the voltage differential is not good for overclocking on 970 chipsets. A few hundred mhz oc is all it can handle and honestly that is pushing it pretty hard.
With a 990 chipset and the EVO with a extra fan you can get 4.8ghz highly stable.
