The Trident Z is rather tall, so go with the Universal, I have the Ultimate and it can only fit the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 just nice.

Are those your only options? And going for looks as 1st priority? D15S would be perfect.

Unless you are going for highest OC, Dark Rock 3 or H5 would be good option. Both block 1st RAM slot for high profile sticks, but if you are only using 2 sticks, you are fine. With R1 Ultimate and other dual towers heatsink blocks 1st slot too, and fan 2nd. But you can also move fan to other side. Doesn't effect performance, and will give some more room with RAM.

Ok do you have any other recommendations for mild to high oc i would go the aio route but that is slightly to expensive for my budget i can do at most 100 for the cpu cooler.
