Welcome to the forums!

 

I suppose he meant 80 bucks, as in $

 

The Dark Rock PRO 3 is a step up from the Dark Rock 3.

But still either should do.

 

I can also recommend:
Noctua D14/15

Cryorig R1

 

Keep in mind that the DR(P)3's are supposed to looks GREAT but also have an absolutely TERRIBLE mounting sollution.

Also once they're on there's no problem

You cannot go wrong with something from Noctua. Something like the NH-D14, would be pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D14-Heatpipe-Radiator-Bearing/dp/B002VKVZ1A/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1500555583&sr=1-9&keywords=noctua

Dont know if there is a white cooler on the market, if you dont paint it. The fans on most coolers can just be swapped out. But I guess the Be quiet cooler is the closest out of the box, with full black design. https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Dark-Rock-Cooler-LGA775/dp/B00HPX7IKU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1500555829&sr=1-1&keywords=be+quiet+dark+rock

Yea noctua make's great coolers but the fans do not fit my pc color so id probably have to buy otter fans of id have to paint them which i dont really wat to do

[MVPernula]

You can buy a Noctua D14/15 and buy black fans like the F12's with white chromax. I did that and it looks pretty sick!

Look at my profile under "about me" and you can see what it looks like, because that happens to be exactly what I have.

 

Aside from that from an esthetic viewpoint I recommend the DRP3. It might be a bitch to mount, but man does it look good.

Get the dark rock 3 it will do the job! I own it together with 4690k and it's perfect!
