Just gunna say this, it really depends on the RAM. I have the NH-D15 myself in a mid-tower cawse and it just about fits with low-profile ram.
A friend of mine built in a Fractal Desgin Meshify C (also mid-tower) with the same cooler but he had the 8-pack RAM (listed below).

The cooler wouldn't fit. However he was very lucky in that the 8-pack ram allowed us to remove the top plastic part which helped to fit it in. Just be sure to get short RAM sticks, the flashy RGB ones will probably not fit with the NH-D15 since they are taller sticks.
Edit: Googling that Chronus Metis case and there's no info on CPU cooler clearance. It doesn't support fan sizes above 120mm. All of the mid towers that can just about squeeze in the NH-D15, all support 140mm fans. The NH-D15 comes with 2x 140mm fans so if the case can't support 140mm fans, it won't fit a NH-D15. Your pal will have to look for a bigger case.
