You need to know model name of your cpu.
Then you can find socket type, it uses.
Then, when selecting cpu cooler, you have to make sure, it has support for your cpu socket.

Next - you need to know model name of your pc case.
Then you can find cpu cooler clearance info (max cpu cooler height allowed).
Then, when selecting cpu cooler, you have to make sure, it has height within limits supported by your pc case.
You can measure cpu cooler clearance yourself also, if finding pc case model name is not possible.

What is the make/model of your cpu/motherboard/case and ram?
What is your current cooler?
Is it doing the job, or do you think you need more?
Any of those factors could be important.
Most new air coolers will have mounting kits that will handle most anything.
The cpu is important to determine how capable the cooler needs to be.
The ram model may be important because some air coolers may conflict with tall ram heat spreaders.
In rare cases, some motherboards will locate the first pcie slot too close to the cpu for some coolers.

You need cpu cooler with height 160mm (or less) and
compatible with LGA1151 cpu socket.

is it worth it to change from deepcool gammaxx 200t to scythe fuma 2

Definitely
(if current cooler can't keep up with cooling down your cpu).

Scythe fuma 2 has

height 154mm and​

support for LGA1151.​

There's no reason for it not to fit.

May be only with some ultra tall ram modules, they could interfere with cpu cooler.

Scythe is an under appreciated maker of coolers.
The fuma2 would be a very good upgrade that will fit.
Look at the photo in this newegg listing and you can see that it clears even trident ram:
