Hey everyone, I'd like to ask if my stuff will fit before I actually upgrade my pc. I've linked more ram in the link below however the size (dementions) of the sticks does not change and I wanted to tell ya guys that 4 slots of my ram will be taken. I haven't bought the other 2 sticks of RAM, MOBO or Cooler yet. I want to make sure it will all fit in nicely but after some research, I've found out that the Dark Rock 3 is big so I'd rather ask before I buy. Thanks to all for their time to answering my request, have a good one!

Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
MOBO: ASUS Z170-A
Ram: Kingstone HyperX PREDATOR 4x4 (16GB)
Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock 3

Your upgrade doesn't happen since Dark Rock 3 fan will overhang 1st RAM slot and you can't use your high-profile RAM in there. Even normal-profile RAM has some trouble fitting under the fan. Either go with normal-profile RAM, e.g Kingston Savage or replace CPU cooler with something else, e.g Arctic Freezer 33.
