Ok well thats the rig.. I can tell its going to be pretty hot and I was thinking of getting this heatsink to help at a little bit.. Ill be investing in RAM fans HDD fans and w.e else I can... but this is what im worried about fitting atm

You'll just have to try it and return it if it doesn't fit. The only way someone could give you a definite answer is if they had that exact mobo and heat sink.I think you made a good choice on the case. The PSU is on the bottom and will allow lots of ROOM for that monster CPU cooler. The fans at the top of the case are in a PERFECT location to exhaust CPU heat. It will be a tight fit. You did notice that the case is "Unavailable"?Haha yea I did but it's available on amazon and places like that. It's going to be s month or so until I order all the stuff so hopefully I will be able to get it from new egg
