    You may have trouble with that capacitor bank just next to the CPU socket. Although you might find that the heatsink curves round them. You'll just have to try it and return it if it doesn't fit. The only way someone could give you a definite answer is if they had that exact mobo and heat sink.

    I think you made a good choice on the case.  The PSU is on the bottom and will allow lots of room for that monster CPU cooler.  The fans at the top of the case are in a perfect location to exhaust CPU heat.  It will be a tight fit.  You did notice that the case is "Unavailable"?
