Hi, I'm extremely new to PC building, I would like to know if the Apevia X-SNIPER2-RD ATX Mid-Tower Case (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/apevia-case-xsniper2rd) is compatible with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2). PC Part Picker says unable to identify whether or not the two are compatible with each other, but I feel like it's wrong since it says that every case I pick is incompatible. If it's right or wrong, why? I'm enthusiastic about learning these new things.

It should fit yes. I couldn't find exact cpu cooler height specs for that case however I did find a response in an amazon Q&A on that case where a user reported having a 212 evo installed in theirs. Another user on newegg reported the same, they fit a 212 evo inside. If there's a side panel fan option you may not be able to use it if it interferes with the cooler. I'm not sure if the bottom side panel fan mount gives enough clearance or not to install a fan there for the graphics card while using the 212 evo. I have a feeling the cooler barely fits.
