Im building a new pc very soon, only hang up is that idk if my cpu cooler will fit in my pc.
this is my case

and the cpu cooler I plan on getting is
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6046364&Sku=T925-3046
Based on the specs, the case is 9 inches wide, and the heatsink is about 6.5 inches. I thought sure, it should fit. then I watched the video on it, and the guy said you'd need like 2.5 feet. Sure, you can tell its an exaggeration, but with the motherboard in place, along with this, idk if it'll all fit.
One more thing about this that im a little sketchy about is the cpu compatibility. In the pictures, it says its compatible with socket 1155 which is what I will have (i5 3570k) but in the general specs it makes no mention of 1155. Do you think it'll come with the 1155 bracket? lets share some opinions on this.
