i have a psu which i bought it is 650w corsair txm modular in a corsair 800d and i have everything else and also looking for 16gb and ram.
ps i have ordered ram as it was on offer but forgot to check if it will fit with the cooler so was just wondering before i buy the rest of the thing, also i can return if needed.

16GB is OTT for gaming fella but if you want it fair enough

i have the aegir http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-017-XG&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2354 which is similiar to the dark knight, and it covers 1 slot, i would buy low profile ram just to be on the safe side as dual channel might be the 1st slot and the 3rd slot,

He has already ordered the Ram so might not be able to cancel it. According to the manual on Gigabytes website the 2nd and 4th memory slots are recommended for dual channel mode. He might be ok with the Dark Knight cooler or to be absolutely sure he would have to order the one like snips suggested. Worst case scenario is that he has to return the ram for low profile stuff :D
 
Id deffo go with the low profile corsair vengeance.
I have the standard and struggling to find a cheap air cpu cooler to fit over the top of them!
Good luck with the build!
