http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
I am thinking about adding a coolermaster 212 evo and wanted to know if the cooler master would fit. Thanks in advance! Also any case recommendations?

tiny voices · Sep 18, 2014

YEs it will. You have no need for a cooler for that build though.

There's no build in the link.

tiny voices · Sep 18, 2014

Good catch. OP, you need to copy the permalink.

tiny voices :

Really, my friend recommended i did because i have an amd fx 8320 processor.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 18, 2014

You will need the 212 if you have a FX 8320.

The stock cooler is poor.

How do you get the build in that format? Thanks in advance.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 19, 2014

Use BBCode to post in that format.

Sleepy952 · Sep 19, 2014

Thanks, I'm relatively new to the forums.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 19, 2014

Not a problem , glad you stopped by to post a question.

Sleepy952 · Sep 19, 2014

To confirm, the cooler master will fit in a Rosewill Challenger case? I read online many people saying yes and no, while still others said it depends on ur motherboard.

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

I have done it myself. The tops of the heatpipes did almost basically touch the side panel though.

Outlander_04 · Sep 19, 2014

Whatever you do dont use the challenger

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

Why do you say that? I have used one before and it is a great budget case.

Outlander_04 · Sep 19, 2014

Because the Antec ONE , Corsair 200R and HAF 912 are all around the same price and all are higher quality

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

I agree that there are better and different cases, but the challenger is by no means bad.

Outlander_04 · Sep 19, 2014

The challenger is 7.5 inches wide and has viirtually no room behind the mb for cabling

The other cases i listed are

Antec one 8.2 inches wide
Corsair 200R 8.3 inches
HAF 912 9.3 inches

More room behind the mb tray , better cable management , and more room for tower coolers .
For the same $ the challenger would never be at the top of my wishlist

Front USB 3 ports might be an issue too . Standard on the Antec and Corsair . Variants of the challenger and HAF have them too

and when the Antec 302 is only a few dollars more I'd always choose that
