I've been working on a pc build for my cousin as of late, something he can use for light gaming and whatnot, so I thought I'd run the parts list past you guys just to make sure everything checked out alright.

CPU: i7-3770k
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H MicroATX LGA 1155
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Case: Rosewill SRM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
PSU: EVGA 430W Certified ATX
Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM

I already have an i7-3770k just lyring around so I thought i'd use that for his build, otherwise it would probably be a pretty impractical thing for a budget pc.

My only real concerns here is that I get a Compatibility Check note on pcpartpicker.com that reads "Unable to verify the Rosewill SRM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Case and the Cooler Master Hyper T4 70.0 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler are compatible." I'm fairly sure that's just a mistake cause the dimensions do check out, but I don't want to take any chances.

Anyhow, any advice or input on this build would be greatly appreciated. :)

The depth of the chassis is 6.69". Ref: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147248
The height of the cooler is 5.98". Ref: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rrt418pkr1

There is no account of these components being compatible via a quick google search.
I doubt that this will fit, because 6.69" is the outer dimension of the chassis.
The reason I say this, is because the motherboard mounting mounts, are typically flush, about 3/4 to 1 inch from the outside panel.
So then that leaves you with absolutely no room to spare.

Ok thanks, what would be a good CPU cooler then for a budget of about $30 that would work with this case/mobo size?

Out of budget and would still be a tight fight
