Yes, thats fine.

I was bit worried corsair site showed it only takes 150mm and that coolers 157mm

Oh yeah, your right, what a rubbish case then if thats all it can take.

Never seen corsair do that before, restrict a case to such a low cooler height.

I have that cooler on a 8320 in a asus m5a97 evo r2.0 currently using an antec 300 case.

Great temps with the set up as well, really pleased for the price of the cooler!

Shame it doesn't appear to fit the case and I don't know which other case option to choose for around £43 mark

Seeing as you have access to the MM, worth having a look, you'll get more for your money.

And don't flight simulator games benefit more from Nvidia cards than Radeon? Or have Radeon improved their drivers for simulators.
