I plan on building my new pc described in my signature saturday. The single card of ram is 35mm tall, and claims low profile.

Can the ram be cleared by the cooler? Or am I going to have to swap something out.
 
Solution
There is 44mm of clearance from the base of the cooler to the fins on the ram side. This is usually enough for most ram, the exceptions being ram that does not have removable heat sink tops. Should not be a problem for the HyperX Fury. You may, however, need to raise the fan on the heatsink a small amount, as the fan cage can sit below the level of the fins.

I already have the ram. I was looking for someone who would know the clearance of the cooler, so as to check if 35 mm plus the motherboard's slot height is not touching the cooler
