I'd get a different CPU cooler and did a bit of color-matching.

do you have a windowed case? what's your PSU?

 

[Fulax]

Looks basically fine. What is the PSU you're using to power it all?

As an over-budget alternative (I can't resist) an extra £25 or so would get you a UD4H motherboard with a free CM Seidon cooler: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-446-GI

Can't resist making things slightly more colour coordinated ._.

MSI card with msi mobo, good air cooler and red/black ram

 

[Fulax]

^ If that RAM fits under the K2 cooler I'll eat my proverbial hat.

Good point, I'm just too lazy to login to the OcUk shop. That and the fact I'll end up 'accidentally' ordering something

 

[ndaar]

Of course it will not, youll be limited to two slots.

If you wanted to use all 4 slots Id suggest the:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-041-AL&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2337

You can even add a second fan.

Or go for a closed loop water cooler as suggested. Just wanted to put out an other option.

They`ll fit, but you have to have the fan on the rear, sucking air through the cooler.

 

[ndaar]

Ok my mistake, it covers all of them I just saw a picture of it on the mobo. Would have to be different ram. However the brocken 2 does work as I have that on the Mobo with all 4 slots.

Or do that....

But if you use the bottom two slots you won't get dual channel mode.
