Compatibility with case/memory

Hey guys.

I'm building a new computer with the Cooler Master X6, along with a Asus Formula VI. I'm using a Corsair 750D case for the build.

Before I splash in and buy them, I just wanted to check compatibility with everything.

Will the cooler have enough room within the case?

Will it fit on the motherboard without issue?

Would it work with Corsair Vengeance memory with the fan on the memory side? (The cheaper 1600Mhz dual channel ones)

 

Thanks

Oh that's quite a big heatsink, hmm I don't really know, considering the case it wont have any problems but I'm not sure about the motherboard, how far the GPU and RAM sockets are from the CPU socket. Sorry I can't help with that.

 

But why not get a closed loop watercooling solution? Like the Corsair H100i?

This review http://tbreak.com/tech/images/?product_id=60672&article_id=60644&image_number=2 has good pic showing that heatsink will clear ram but adding fan will block slots 1-2. I think you can fit two sticks on slots 2&4 with bit tightness. First PCIe slot will be definetly blocked.
