I'm going to build my first gaming rig and I'm using the Asus m5a97 with G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB ram. I'm also using the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU cooler. Will the cooler block the way of my ram?

Nope, the 212 can work with any DRAM, the fan is height adjustable, Have GSkill Tridents stitting under a couple of them on my rigs

I had the 212 Plus with my M5A97 R2.0 LE before I watercooled and with the extra fan on the side near the RAM, it DID block one of my RAM slots. I had the Corsair Vengeance RAM sticks, but if the GSkill are shorter, then it may work. If you're only going to use one fan then it doesn't matter, but the extra fan did drop my temps an extra 2-3 C when I added it.

Loved the 212 Plus, btw, great air cooler.
