Can I use this heatsink?

[rowdymoody]

Hello, I am going to be building my first PC soon,I originally wanted to use a closed water loop to cool my cpu because I like the smaller profile of them and the cleaner look, but I have decided to go with the air cooling route out of fear of getting leaks and ruining my new build.

Since I am going to be going the air route, I would like to use a heatsink that is aesthetically pleasing, such as the Thermaltake CLP0554 (Spin Q) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106142 I love the look of it.

Since I have never built my own pc before, I am relatively new to parts selection and what is compatible with what, I don't really see why it wouldn't be compatible with my build, but I just want some reassurance that I will be able to use this particular heatsink for my build.

My case will be a Zalman Z11 HF1 edition
Processor is intel core i5 3570k
The motherboard I have chosen is the Asrock Z77 extreme 4

Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use this heatsink for my build?

Yes, it fits, it's supported for that socket, and it fits in the case, but i'd get the phanteks cooler which is at the same price.
If you want to take a look at it : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709020

It comes in several colors, it's a good quiet, high performance cooler.
