The heat sink itself probably won't but its the wire clips that hold on to the fan might be an issue....but it shouldn't.

It's not that hard but it's a bit difficult. But that should not deter you from getting it. Just take your time installing it and read the instructions.

The 212 Evo is 159mm it's going to be reallly snug but ti will fit. My old case the NZXT source 210 elite had a clearance of 160 and it fit in there. I would not go with the H60, the evo would perform better than that.
