yh it'll all fit.
u may want a cpu cooler tho. and low profile RAM

What would the benefit be of lower profile RAM? I thought the heatsinks on them were beneficial, rather than a detractor?

As for the CPU cooler, I can upgrade later I think - the i5 comes with a stock one, I thought. I will double check that one, though.

Cheers, Stinger!

Low profile RAM such as this makes sure it won't interfere if you did get a cooler later on.

The retail versions come with a stock cooler, which is good. Third party coolers tend be quieter and allow for overclocking headroom, e.g.

It comes with a stock cooler however you will not want to overclock with it.

The tall ram heatsinks don't really make any diffrence, but can interfear with quite a lot of CPU heatsinks.
