I have been reading the forums for a while and keep changing my mind but I think I finally narrowed my build down to the following:

Mobo: ASRock A75M-ITX AMD A75
CPU: A6-3500
RAM: Kingston 4gb KHX1866C11D3P1K2/4G
Case & PSU: Silverstone SG05

The problem I have is that I have read about problems mounting the SCKZT-1000 CPU fan with certain RAM modules. I also read that the ideal fan would be the meOrb but it seems this is out of stock.

Would the stock CPU fan fit in my case? if so is it usable or too loud?
Would the SCKZT-1000 fit with my case and RAM modules?
Is there a better CPU fan for my build?

Many thanks

I recently built an HTPC very similar to yours ( I chose a different case ). The fan at full power is loud for me. I turned the fan down via the bios to about 50%. I have an additional silenx 80m fan, and the htpc is really quiet ( I can't hear it at all ), low power and cpu temps have been quite low. I could take out the silenx fan and should still be fine.
