I'm just wondering if the CPU cooler is gonna interfere with the side fan on the case? I've heard on a few posts that the side fan was disconnected from the motherboard because of the delivery or because the CPU cooler was too large and it would not fit? well if that's true I might pick a different case.

What is your budget? Is it a gaming rig?

You wouldn't have any issues with the case and cpu cooler you selected.
