Gaming Build Room for Cooler

[shoomee]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3dy49 here is my build

What I need to know if everything will fit in my case! I hear the cooler is very big and needs room.

Also will I be able to overclock my PC to around 4.5ghz? Or is a different cooler needed?

Thank you!

Please provide any other details you find important!

Any air cooled CPU cooler will fit in that case. It is a full tower.

And as for the cooler itself, I highly recommend this one if you're going to overclock in that range. It's much safer and much more effective.

Will it block ANY ports on my motherboard? Or should it be fine?

It will be fine. You have a full ATX motherboard, so there is plenty of room.

One last question. I am new at this. Do you think I will be able to install this easy enough? I will have help.

Sorry for the delay. I took a shower. LOL But anyway yes, you should be able to do it by yourself. Just follow ALL directions for installing it. You'll need some thermal compound as well. I'll post a link to it off of Amazon. It's cheap enough. Like 5 dollars or so. And if you have any questions when getting ready to install it, don't hesitate to send me a private message to get my attention. I don't mind at all.

If your question is solved, pleae mark it as being solved so that others in the community can benefit from this thread as well. Thanks!

Here is link to thermal compound:
