Will it fit?

Hi all,
I've just started to get parts together for my first build, given that i'm new to building computers this may be a rather stupid question but I was wondering whether the Bitfenix Merc Alpha/Beta cases are capable of fitting the Alpenfohn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler that came with my bundle?

it will be very tight that case has 165mm clearance for cpu cooler the k2 is 164mm but i think the centre fan protrudes further.you wouldnt be able to use the side fan mounts either

Ah okay thanks, can anyone suggest a cheap case that would fit it more easily?
