1. You need to make sure that there are no clearance issues with the height of the cooler.
2. You'll need proper ventilation if you're going to be gaming.
3. A PSU that has a 120mm fan to pull air out the case will help with ventilation.

i use jeantech 900 watt psu with a huge fan,just worried bout how the cpu will get fresh air,as the fan will not be facing side of case.

Will the air get thru the holes and the cooler will find

Adding a raptor hdd for gaming use only.
I was tinkering over putting a normal fan on the side where the vents are inline with the cpu,
Using cable ties mount it on the outside of case blowing air in,Thus my psu and exhaust fan taking the hot air out.

?

That sounds like a good solution, as long as the outtake is good.
