Making sure parts match up

I'm not a 100% sure about this, but those RAM modules are 40mm hight and chat CPU cooler has a 37mm clearance. so if you're only going to use 2 sticks you have nothing to worry about but if you want to upgrade in the future you should go for low profile RAM as the hyper evo might block the 1st RAM slot (this is the case with my motherboard at least and a whole bunch of others aswell)

Yeah i was thinking about that. Could remove heat sinks but that would mean more cooling needed for RAM and also voids warranty. So like he said, choose some low profile RAM like G Skills Ares or something.

No, the power is good and you have some more left over for overclocking if done in future.

you could also get a liquid cooling system instead of the hyper evo 212. it wont take up as much space
also, as a comment to whizz, dd3 doesnt get very warm, it's mostly for show ;) it does help ofc, but it's not needed, especially when you have a decent airflow in the case (this is what I have been reading on this forum at least)

hah, I expereinced that problem 1st hand, I was looking for a decent cooler and then I learned my RAM was to high!
if you dont want to get a liquid cooling system, i ordered the scythe grand kama cross 2. it wont interfere with the RAM, even the high profile ones, and also cools the chipsets and RAM
