Need help with CPU cooler selection as well as RAM advice for gaming. Not looking for Liquid cooling though.

So I have a Rosewill Blackhawk ATX Gaming Mid-tower case, an i7 5820k processor [not OC'd] and an MSI X99S Gaming-7 Motherboard with a EVGA GeForce 970 GTX 4GB graphics card.

I bought the wrong ram sticks like a total noob [bought DDR3 instead of DDR4]

And I am not sure if the cooler that was recommended to me will fit the case. The one that was recommended was: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=35-103-182

The Cooler Master Hyper T4. Assuming I get either 2x 8GB DDR4 ram or 4x 4GB DDR4 ram sticks, will this CPU cooler fit into my Blackhawk Gaming case?

I just checked. It is totally compatable. you can go all out for even 6 RAM sticks. Even with humongous heat spreaders on both sides. No problem.

Because I really don't know which RAM sticks i'm getting. Far as I know its just gonna be heat spreaders instead of like a full on heat sink but honestly, i'm a total newbie when it comes to this stuff. And I still have to buy the new ram cause I bought the wrong kind the first time.

LOL, your motherboard's spacing between the CPU and the RAM slots are also pretty Damn big too. So yeah no problem. I do not know about filling all 8 slots, but from what I saw you are only getting 4 RAM modules. So yes for sure
