Ready to start building but do need some help deciding on some parts. I want the Intel I7 5930 chip, so building accordingly.

Chip-Intel I7 5930

http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=19-117-403

Motherboard- Asus rampage v extreme

http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=13-132-505

Graphics card- Gigabyte GTX 980, going with 1 for now, can see myself getting second one later.

Case- corsair 780t (already bought it, it was on great sale)

http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=11-139-048

Need help with

CPU cooler- Noctua nh-d14 and nh-d15 seem to be popular choice of many, those things are big though. Will the socket match? Do I need low profile ram because of its size? How do I know ram is low profile ram on newegg? (Corsair says its low profile, rip jaws don't) Will I have to move graphics card down and will it affect the performance?

Ram- thinking 16 GB, 4x4 should suffice for now, manufacturers site seems to really like corsair and rip jaws, any input, suggestions welcome

Power supply - welcome any helpful suggestions

Storage - gonna go with combo here,

Western digital black

Would love your input on SSD, I know there been some problems with some of them, any helpful suggestions or comments more than welcome.
