So I am getting close to building my i7 rig and was heavily looking at the Xigmatek Thor's Hammer Heatsink. It looks like it is amazing and was built to fit the i7 chip. The only problem I see is that in some reviews it showed the fan on the HS next to the RAM hitting the stick (with high heatsinks) in the slot nearest the cpu... does anyone have experience with this or have any advice?
THORS Hammer: Newegg.com - Xigmatek THOR'S HAMMER HDT-S126384 CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
RAM suggested to me: Newegg.com - G.SKILL Trident 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
Also I am looking at this case... Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER ATCS 840 RC-840-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases... Will the Thor's Hammer fit in that case with 2 fans (push/pull) on it? I don't plan on building this thing until July but I want to stay up to date with the best things possible because by then I will have over $2,500 to spend on it...
One last question is does anyone have an opinion on the new Corsair PSU...Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-850HX 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
Best piece of news is that I convinced my Mom and Grandpa that I am able to build a computer... I forced my Mom to watch me look up the given guides and she said, "well just be carefull!" I told her the guys on these forums are pros and there is nothing to worry about
