yes i did!

Nah, if i get it its gonna be new, and i won't use a noctua fan. I know they are great for performance, but i hate the look of them, and i just hate noctua in general.

The Pure Rock performs similarly to the 212 Evo while being cheaper: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk009

I'm currently debating whether to get a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 or a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Which one should i get, and why?

The evo is physically larger since it accommodates a 120mm fan. If you can fit it, go for the EVO since 120 fans are better and quieter than 92mm fans.

If it fits, then Cooler Master 212 Evo.

Try finding broken one, it will cost a lot cheaper and u can place noctua's fan on it, gonna be very even better.

EVO 212 for the unbeatable price/performance ratio. Just installed it yesterday and it's absolutely cool.

Where are you located? If you're in the US there are a few coolers which perform better than the EVO for the same price.

The H7 looks really good, nice fan.

Didn't know it was that cheap.

And the price of that psu, you guys are lucky living in the US (when it comes to shopping hardware).
