Help with cooler

 So I recently built my system (athlon 880k build) and I bought the coolermaster Hyper T4 for a cooler and I purchased it because it does not require a backplate (something I never done) however it doesn't fit as it was two wide and I would not be able to use with an exaust fan, so I installed the default one, its loud as hell. I would like something else, is it hard/worrying to install a backplate? I took off the 1 panel and it just looks like a big metal plate on the back with screws on the motherboard side. What cooler should I pick, and could I get away with using a Corsair H55/H60 with the small space ? like can i bend the tubing around the case

Installing a backplate should be a breeze if you can read and follow instructions. 

What are your specs and current temps?

Are you just looking for lower noise or a better cooler to oc with?

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Located in Waterloo Ontario, I buy shit from Amazon and NCIX generally but prefer amazon. Budget is under $100 CAD, I OC a bit, probably 4.5Ghz max. Looking for lower temps and to get my pc to shut the fuck up

How are your fans currently laid out?

Have you tried moving the rear exhaust to the front for intake to fit in the T4? 

If not, you should see how that performs.

T4 Doesn't fit, I cannot rotate it, It would only fit If I removed the exaust fan.

 

I have 3 fans two intakes by drive cage, and 1 exaust. CPU fan and GPU fan and the PSU doesn't contribute
