Hello folks, as I'm about building my new PC and some components are already set on, I need some help about the possibility of building the rig as I thought of it.
Set components are:
CPU: i7 4790k, intending to do slight overclocking
Mainboard: Gigabyte Z97x-SLI (due to the awesome price/performance here in germany, relatively to other boards)
Scythe Mugen 3 - already got this one.
and now I'm about to get the last component, the ram. It'll definitely consist of 2x 8GB sticks and should not top 160€ but still have 2133-2400mhz with a low cl. Looking around, I've seen the G.Skill TridentX 2400 Cl10 kit suggested various times, going well with Haswell. With 146€ they are also in my budged, so nothing to worry about, right?
Well, the part I'm not sure about is if they will fit into my pc, as the sticks are tall, together with the Mugen eating quite a lot space. I do not care about optics, so I would take off the fans if that helps. Does anyone know more about if they will fit together? If not, what good alternative would there be to the TridentX kits?
PS: This is what got me worried:

Edit: Forgot adding main usage for the pc - it's going to be video editing with ocassional gaming. I'm horribly sick of 6 hours rendering for a 30 min hd video, haha.
Edit2: Is a 500W power supply going to be enough? Above spec with at least one Nvidia 660 GTX TI
