you can raise the fan up if you want it in a push

This is my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W6crYJ

 

I have purchased most of the parts except the case and cpu cooler. The RAM is tall and did not expect that it would cause any issues, but apparently it will with the CPU Cooler.  I need recommendation on what to do. I was wanting the hyper 212 evo, which may cause an issue because of the RAM. I am afraid of removing the heatsinks from the RAM. I thought about moving the fan to the other side of the heatsink, though will it cause any airflow issues?

I dont see it being a problem on an ATX board but I may be wrong

If you only propagate the right most channel you should be fine (i.e. slots 2 and 4).

Just put the fan on the backside of the heatsink in a pull config rather than push

only if you could wait for the 4690k  :P

 

the cpu cooler will be fine, it wont cause any airflow issues.
