Buying new CPU cooler will it fit in my Evolution Galaxy Midi case?

The main problem with size will be the height of the cooler; from the base that contacts the CPU to top of heat sync. If your case is too narrow, you won't be able to put the side panel back on. The cooler will be sticking out too far. That's the first thing to measure. If the case is 8" wide or more, you shouldn't have any problem. But if narrower, measure.

You can find the dimensions of the 212 EVO here: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=2923 (scroll to bottom of page)

Take the old cooler off and measure from the CPU to the side panel of the case. The EVO is 6.3" tall.
As far as any obstructions like RAM or heat syncs, that will depend on the MB and how tall the RAM sticks are. The EVO sits quite close to the board. Tall heat syncs are a no no.
