New Build - cpu cooler position

[Chrismk]

I'm in the middle of my first ever 'serious' build and taking things very steadily. A bit tense but also perversely enjoyable
Having felt very pleased at successfully placing the Megahalem on the i7 920 followed by the Corsair Dominator 2000mhz cooler next to it I think I can see a problem!

The ram cooler is obviously going to affect the flow through the Megahalem. So some questions assuming that my assumption is correct.

Should I turn the cpu cooler through 90 degrees so that the air is being pushed towards the large fan at the top of the Antec 1200 case? I also have another Noctua fan; should I use this to pull air through as well or will one suffice?

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

It's DDR3 at 1.65V not DDR2 @ 2.1V+, it really doesn't need the RAM cooler, especially in an antec 1200. Also if you do remove the RAM cooler, then the CPU fans will do the job (not that it's needed).

I was rather hoping somebody would say that!
So would it be likely that I would need another cpu fan pulling or will the case exhaust fans in close proximity suffice?

Thanks for all your replies. Much appreciated.
