Make sure that your ram has clearance with your cpu cooler. I think the cpu cooler clearance is 38mm so buy ram higher than 38mm.

If it does not, I can easily change it out for something low-profile, I still have a decent amount of room in my 700-800$ budget.

Yes, I need it soon. I don't have anything that can use the power of a GTX 760 yet, but I plan to get some games inbetween now and when I do get it.

I have to manage servers/forums and my current computer is bricked after 7 years, and it wasn't very useful anyway.

Why the 212 Plus? I think the Hyper 212 Evo will be better. As for the memory, these are pretty tall and may not fit with the Hyper 212 cooler.
