I recently bought an AMD FX 6300 processor, right now im using the stock cooler which just bugs me. I want to have a little bit of head room for later on if I decide to overclock, is there any suggestions for a moderately priced air or water cooler, I'm willing to go either way. Thanks

I did try the cooler master EVO series, but it didn't work for me, it blocked off a couple of memory slots unless I bought low profile. Instead I went with the Noctua NH-U9S. Works pretty well if the "Noctua" Colored fans don't throw your color scheme off too much. My A10 7870k doesn't go above 45C on full load and around 20C ambient temperature. And if you need a bit more cooling, you can get a second fan for the other side.

I agree with these guys, that processor is worth spending more one.
