Well I had to upgrade from a i3-3220 to an FX-8320, give my i3 to my mom, and the FX stock is a bit loud. Taking this bad to my dorm would bother my roommate, and I really want to overclock it. 

I had a 4.2 GHz overclock. <Max I was thinking about was around 4.5Ghz.

What cooler would be good? I have a about 40$ to play around with. I was looking at a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. 

Suggestions?

If you only have $40 the 212 evo is pretty much the only option worth getting.
