That CPU cooler fits just fine it is not to tall I have installed them in the case you have. The case specks are wrong.
Can you not see it used in this picture with the same case??????????

Have you checked? The 212 EVO is listed as 159mm tall. Mine is just a tad taller due to the way they capped off one of the heat pipes.
 


Yes, that heatsink is just a tad too tall.
 


Liquid cooled is something im definitely considering, but I am not sure how difficult they are to install comepared to the traditional air cooler style for example the placement of the radiator. I do like this choice a lot though for my build.

Thanks, funny how the specs are wrong. I will be going with one of those heatsinks. And since you have the case, would you mind telling me how many fans you are running in what positions. Want to order fans and all at the same time, top fan(s) seem optimal with another fan up front and one at the bottom it if fits depending on PSU.
 
I don't have that case I use a C70 case but I have built with that case.
First I would buy the H7 cooler listed above, it is a very good cooler cools as good or a bit better as the 212 and has no clearance issues with memory.
It's just 145mm tall so it wont be right at the window in the case.

For case fans in that case remove the front 120mm fan and install it in the top blowing out and add 2 X 140mm front fans blowing in that's all you will need.
