That will be a great cooler for the cpu. Just grab some good TIM to go with it like AS5 or IC Diamond, etc. As for the case, I can't be sure if it will fit or not but I believe it will.

It's less than 5 inches you should be fine, my case is slimmer and people have said I could easily fit a dark knight

After looking over the reviews you should be absolutely fine, someone stated that they fit a Sunbeam Core contact freezer with no problems, so a Dark Knight would be fine.

Just to give ya something else to look at, I love my TRUE works great. And yeah, get some AS5 for that thing, or I've heard that OCZ Freeze is good as well (never personally used though)
