Heres my build so far  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nMBdGX    I would just like to make sure that everything is compatible. Will the noctua fit in my case and clear the ram, or should I get low profile ram? I mostly play open world rpgs, mmos, and dota 2 so im not sure which monitor to get. Do i need low input lag and response times for dota 2? My friend recommended this monitor to me http://www.amazon.com/EIZO-FS2333-BK-23-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B00ASHTZYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408668744&sr=8-1&keywords=eizo+foris+fs2333   but its only 1080p and 60hz , so it seems kinda expensive. Would I be better off going with a 120hz monitor or a 60hz 1440p monitor?

Use my build list :). I'm building it soon and yours look pretty similar. You can add the case fans if you want.

Drop the extra Noctua fans and put the money into an ssd.

 

The Corsair Vengeance Pro memory modules will not fit under the fan of the NH-D15. There are a number of options. I would suggest getting the NH-U12S which should not have memory clearance issues. Or you could go with Corsair Vengeance LP or G.Skill Ares memory.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
