Hello,

A few days ago i started working on a build for a friend and after getting allot of feedback on in I’m finally happy about the build. We are talking about allot of money for us (as a student) so I want to be sure I won’t be running in any kind of problems.

The only thing I am not sure about is if the CPU cooler (Scythe FUMA) will be any kind of trouble for the installation of the RAM (Corsair vengeance LPX 2x8gb).
Here is the full build:

With only 2 sticks you will be 100% OK with any Air cooler including the massive Noctua NH-D15.
