I'm building an air cooled PC in a Micro-ATX case. Can someone recommend me a CPU cooler that won't interfear with my RAM slots that will fit in an ATX case?

Would be more helpful if you could share the Motherboard model and case dimensions and model aswell,
If you have enough room you may look into Thermaltake's NiC (Non-interference cooler) series that are meant to go into most ATX cases, they are not very small, but they fit into most ATX cases just right, I believe you need to have about 28cm cooler clearance.

Also RAM, different ram have different height heatsinks on them

I shall take one of Cryorig (mostly universal) series. Otherwise you could, if you have the money, buy an all-in-one liquid cooler.

 

It would be helpful if you can post your case, motherboard, cpu and RAM. 

My own build: RΛZΞR theme

CPU: Intel Core i5 7600K // CPU cooler: Cryorig H7 // Motherboard: MSI Z270 gaming pro carbon //       

Video Card: MSI Armor gtx 1070 OC 8GB // RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200MHz //  

SSD: Samsung EVO 960 500GB // HDD: 2x WD yellow edition 2TB //

Case: NZXT H440 RAZER edition // Power Supply: Corsair RM550x //
