As they have chosen not to publish cooler clearance, completely unknown.

However:
The overall case width is 7"/177mm.
The cooler is 159mm.

Leaving 18mm(0.7") for:
CPU, motherboard, standoffs, motherboard tray, cable space behind the tray.

At a guess, I'd say almost certainly not.

Any suggestions on a cooler of similar price but suitable clearance?

Depends on how hard you want to push an OC (if any), but I'm looking at this for an upcoming build:

Unknown about performance, but that one will fit.
The fan is significantly smaller, though. 92mm vs 120mm.
