Will the cooler fit in the case?

[Ex0rc1st]

Hi guys, i'm building a new pc and i'm wondering what cooler I should get for the i7 9700k.

 

My build so far:

gpu gtx 1660 super

mobo: http://hu.gigabyte.com/products/page/mb/z390_gaming_x#kf

memory: https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK16GX4M2B3200C16

case: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-mb520/

 

I was thinking about getting the bequiet dark rock pro 4 cooler, however I'm not sure it would properly fit in the case (the case specs says it supports up to 165mm cooler height, and the dark rock is 163mm tall, isn't this a bit too close? also what if i want to add to extra fans to the top of the case? would it fit?)

Also would the cooler interfere with the mobo? Would it block ram slots?

 

Sorry for mistakes, second time building a pc

 

 

(also what about water cooling? could you recommend me any decent aio coolers which are not too expensive?)

It should fit. I had mine in an O11 XL, which only has clearance of about 167mm. It was tight, but it fit.

 

In terms of decent, inexpensive AIOs, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II is good if you can find it. If you want RGB, I've also heard good things about the Deepcool Castle EX series.

thanks for your response, then I'll give it a try, and if it doesn't fit, I'll return it and probably get a different cooler
