Hey, this is going to be my first build ever and before buying all the components I wanted to check to see what you guys think. Here's what I picked out:

Just some things I was wondering, will the cooler conflict with the memory? Should I go with the low profile to be safe? Also do all of these components get along well? I'm not exactly after the very most performance I can get for x amount of dollars, but I do want this to be able to handle pretty much any game no problem. I mostly picked these components because I think they would look awesome together.
