Help with new 8700k upgrade

[Kodin]

I'm wanting to upgrade from my 2500k 4.4 ghz system and also replace my Corsair 650 TX V2 psu because it's quite old now, I'm keeping my GTX 970 for this system.

I need help on the memory, I need 16 gig and its going to need to fit alright with that massive cooler, could anyone have a look on Scan and pick me some please, with a budget of £200.

Other Question I have is about the PSU, i've read the cables are quite short. Would it be ok bottom mounted in my HAF 932 case?

I'm assuming this would be alright for memory?

Briefly browsing through the Scan website, it seems to be the Vengeance LPX RAM or nothing.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that, as Corsair is one of the better RAM vendors, but I didn't see other low-profile RAM like the Crucial Ballistix Sport, the ADATA XPG series, or the Kingston HyperX Fury series. It seems like Scan is a Corsair-only shop.)

Don't think you can go wrong with Corsair. Outside of crucial they're top notch.

This isn't a criticism or even really a recommendation, but what's the draw of the NH-D15? I get that it's a good cooler, and it's quiet given that it's massive size allows it to run its fans slowly. But it *is* absolutely massive and expensive for an air cooler, and an AIO watercooler is very much in its same price range and doesn't have the size issue.

Because I don't trust water cooling, and i've seen plenty of people on various forums who have had these AIO coolers not last long, like the Corsair ones having the pump fail. I would also be afraid of it leaking.

Will this memory I selected definitely be comparable with the Mobo because on the asrock Memory QVL i see this one listed CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 but not the one I picked CMK16GX4M2D3200C16. What is the difference between B and D ?
