I'm very new to pc building and currently im trying to build my 1st high end gaming PC. The question i have is if the G.Skill Trident Z RGB (2x8GB) (44 mm) will fit with be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. I know i could look up the numbers myself, but i get very confused when it comes to nubmers and i can't really tell what is what.

The other components are:

Case: : Fractal Design Meshify C TG – Black
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 80 Plus Gold 750W
MOBO: Asus MB STRIX Z370-E Gaming
HDD: Seagate Baraccuda 3TB
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
CPU: Intel i7-8700K
Graphics card: Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti TURBO
Fans: 2x be quiet! Shadow Wings PWM 120mm

Also if there are any other comments on my build, i'll gladly take any advice.

I saw this on a forum: "Trident Z are 44mm so 39mm above top of CPU.
Dark Rock Pro 4 is 40mm top of CPU to bottom of front fan and from dimensional drawing fan appears to be about 7mm lower than bottom of lowers full depth fin (3 lower fins are shorter). Bottom of shorter fins is 40mm above top of CPU, same as bottom of fan in dimensional drawings.

But top of fan is 6mm below top of heatpipes, so if fan is raised to be flush with top of heatpipes there is 46mm from top of CPU to bottom of fan, 51mm RAM will fit. " and there's so many numbers i get confused.
