If I remember right it will take a decent length but can't check right now.. Should be OK I think :)

 

Can't find it now but I'm sure it was a typical 380 / 390mm

While the topic has been bumped, I've made a second potential build using the Ryzen 5 1500x instead of the i5 7500... Same price once mobo is swapped for a AM4 B350....

The one thing about Ryzen is that it's gaming performance isn't quite up to par with Intel's yet, the difference is pretty minimal (usually 1-10 FPS) and that'll definitely change as AMD and their hardware partners work on UEFI and Chipset (software) updates. It might take awhile though.

As for the longevity of the platform, and how well the CPU will keep up with others with time... nobody can say for sure yet. But I'd place a bet on a Ryzen 5 1500x lasting longer then an i5 7500 would in terms of software support. And as time goes by and games support a higher thread count, the Ryzen will go from lacking in gaming performance to smoking that i5.

Plus ryzen coolers are half decent so wont have to spend money on a CPU cooler!
