Yes, the HSF will hang over the nearest DIMM slot to the CPU socket and prevent you from placing memory in it. You could always try mounting the HSF vertically instead of horizontally though, that could solve the problem... As long as the HSF isn't so huge that it doesn't interfere with other things on the motherboard, or hit the top of your case...

Probably going to do this now, anyone here have experience with SSD's and can recommend one (especially size)? I'm thinking I'm going to use it mainly for w7, 2-3 games and a few programs (photoshop, vegas, after effects, cinema 4d, 3dsmax). And anything that I should know about installation etc... would be helpful!

Western Digital Caviar Black drives are superior, and they still have 5 year manufacturer warranty unlike the other companies that only offer 3 year.
Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
WD are more well known, don't think I'd still say superior though. :v

Many people have had their fair share of problems with all types of hard drives, including Western Digital drives. I'd say they're superior, though and I swear by them.
