i am not planning to OC this PC. Several people suggest me to buy master cooler 212 evo, but my intention is to buy a cheaper one(since i am not going to OC) and buy a case fans instead.

do you guys have any suggestion for smaller in size/cheaper cpu cooler that can still fit my CPU?
and do you guys have any preference for the case fan?
thanks!

thanks for the answer! i am not going to OC, still, because i am just afraid it will reduce my pc's lifespan as it push the machine beyond its limit.
however, if maybe in the future i feel that the cpu is too hot, can i still install the cooler with the machine installed inside the case? and, can i a cpu cooler that is smaller (like 90mm) instead of 120mm?
thank you.
