Will I have problems with the Noctua cooler & compatibility in this build?

Sorry, it didn't add my link to the original post. I edited it and it should be working now. I arranged the parts on pcpartpicker and it said there might be a compatibility issue, and as I don't know much about building PCs I don't know how to verify it myself.

Personally I'd opt for the newer NH-D15S over the older NH-D15, the S version is offset giving greater ram and gpu clearance but has similar performance.

You can post PCPartPicker links directly using the [bb] button at the top of the page and cut/paste.
 
The only compatibility issue would be with your case- The NH-D15 with the fan comes in at a height 160mm, while your case supports up to 170mm coolers. Given how case manufacturers like to advertise their compatibility, there may be a bit of deviancy to these numbers. Should still fit just fine, but it will be pretty close should you choose a dual-tower heatsink.
