Will my AIO closed loop have enough clearance for my RAM in this case?

Hello,

So I made a previous thread asking this question, but I forgot to mention that my liquid cooling unit will be mounted on the top of my case.

My planned setup: http://
My case: http://
My RAMhttp://

My case can accommodate a 360mm radiator on the top mount (As it states on the website linked), which is where I plan to mount the unit. However, I find multiple threads online about this RAM clearance issue being prevalent and common amongst those of us who build our own systems. Haven't found any about my case or my model of RAM specifically, but I'd like a few opinions from you here at Tom's Hardware for my own.

Many thanks.
 
RAM clearance issues are usually with large air coolers. The beauty of the AIO units is that they usually never obstruct RAM modules. That said, you should go with a latest gen. platform with that kind of budget...
