On a different thread somebody suggested to me that I should use low profile memory for my build due to my CPU cooler, so I'm just double checking to make sure that this is 100% true.
Here's what I'm thinking so far (my parts list): goo.gl/6acfG7
ALSO you will notice there is no video card there, as I am getting it from here: goo.gl/PDE2Sb
Not too long ago it was going for ~$140, so I may or may not wait for it to go back down before I buy it... (btw I've looked for places where I can buy these new aswell, and I haven't found any, but from what I've read these sellers are just fine and are safe to buy from... plus I'm saving about 50-100 dollars by buying it used, depending on the price I buy it at of course)
On top of that please note that my Motherboard is not final (I'm in between a couple of ASRock and Gigabyte ones). If you have any suggestions on that matter feel free to tell me
Should probably also mention that my budget is around $750-$850
That's all, thanks!

But answer is simple - No, no need for low profile, the Hyper 212 EVO has adjustable Fan(s) (you can add a second) which are height adjustable, I have RipJaws X sitting under a EVO on my SB (2500K) rig, and Trident X sitting under another on my IB (3570K), so can use any DRAM, and no ill affects from raising the fan the 1.4 inch or so that may be needed with tall sticks
