Future HTPC build

Hello,

I currently have a Carbide Air 540 gaming rig, but looking to do something different.

I'd like to know if there is going to be clearance issues with these components:

Fractal Node 605 case, with an ASUS Maximus VII Impact, and say a Corsair H50/55 hydro cooler? The ram would be low profile

Any advise or other suggestions welcome.

------

So, I've done some research and I do not want to put in a water block, I will therefore revert to air cooling. Low profile CPU cooler like a Thermalright AXP-100 Muscle.

Nice one,

Would I be able to add 2 80mm fans as an exhaust to the fractal node case using the Impact, or would the mPCIe Combo IV cause issues?

As recommended by TTL, I am looking at the Noctua L12 cooling, would I still be able to add another 120mm fan in the Fractal Node 605 with the heat pipe tips going slightly over the Impact's heat shield?
