the fan in the pictures have clips that hods it to the heatsink. If it does collide, the fan can sit on top of the ram and still blow air fine into the heatsink. It may not be flush on top but will work just fine.

No not at all. Put your RAM in slots 2 and 4 though

Yeah I plan on that, will that be okay or you think it'll still be an issue? All the cpu coolers seem the same to me, I could spend a little more to get dif ram if I have to though

This your first build?

I've done countless builds ever since tower coolers were a thing. They don't block anything. Most tower coolers are slightly off set so the fan would never block any ram. I would avoid very tall ram though. Low profile ram should do fine.

In your scenario it won't even matter because you would put ram in slots 2 and 4 anyways

First build was over 10 years ago I'm just upgrading finally thanks that's reassuring! :)

I would opt for a bit better cooler than that.

Why? Please inform me :) They all look the same to me so what makes one better than another? (I'm genuinely a noob at pc building)
