I'm looking for a small, quiet cooler that's attractive as well. My case is from a pre-built manufacturer (cause I didn't know anything about computers when I first got mine) It's from that newegg pre-builder ABS. It's a standard Mid Tower ATX with area's for two case fans, one at the top and one at the back. I doubt you can find the case. 

EDIT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS: It's a Raidmax Vortex

You can swap out the fan with an RGB one if you'd like in the future but I'd personally prefer the quieter stock fan.

If you want to get beefier cooling, you'd need a larger cooler.

Quieter, better looking, cooler CPU cooler that is also relatively small

Cryorig C7 is a good option, pop on an RGB fan and voila!

The C7 uses a fan with proprietary clips and an rgn fan wouldn't as easily fit.

I think the intel stock cooler compared to the Dark Rock TF is a worthy upgrade. It's somewhat small and supposedly quiet. As for case fans that's easy enough.

The DRTF isn't that small. If you consider that small, I'm not sure what constitutes as big for you.

Yeah, well I'm not talking like pinky size. I have some breathing room but nothing gigantic. That right there is literally as big as I'm willing to go.

If that's the case, you might as well get a traditional tower cooler like the Kotetsu which would be more efficient for your case airflow. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/7998TW/scythe-cpu-cooler-scktt1000

I'm into a circular style. Your thoughts on the Cryorig C7? 

It's like a SRLP but worse. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7470/quiet-shadow-rock-lp-compact-cpu-cooler-review/index6.html
