Hello,
I am here to ask if all my pc components are compatiable.
What i would mainly like to know is if the ram will fit on the motherboard with that cpu cooler on it and will the graphic card fit , due to this massive cpu cooler , also does this mobo have all the necessairy connections for my components.

Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 7
Cpu cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Ram: Corsair CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB)
Gpu: Asus GTX 770 Nvidia
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
Cpu: Intel Core i5 4670K
Hard drive : Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive

The RAM's heatsink is too tall and will not fit with the Noctua cooler. Look for Corsair Vengeance Low-Profile RAM, and just go with 8GB (2x4GB), you don't need 16GB unless you're going to be video editing or that sort of stuff. Also, the new i5-4690k will come out in 3 days, so look for that instead, and pre-order it. The motherboard is fine.
