    ohh, be careful with air coolers then, they might be bigger than the case allows and often only work with normal ram heights

    This for sure. I have made this mistake in the past, luckily I was able to return the cooler.

    Unless you a lot of money to throw away. Upgrade your i5 to a i7-4790k. It'll handle anything you throw at it, def with that 980ti. H100i cooler will do the trick.

    Doesn't even have to be bigger. Some small cases support radiators too. ^^
    Not everybody has the space for big cases and maybe he just likes this one.
