After rearranging some things in my build I discovered I had about $30 left over to do stuff with if I wanted. I figured, since it's a Haswell build, CPU cooling would be a good decision. The relevant hardware:
i5 4670k
ASUS Z87 Sabertooth
Corsair Low Profile RAM (2x4GB)
Fractal R4 case
I plan to add an MSI GTX 760 later on (and would like the possibility for SLI)
Cooler Master 212 EVO is the current plan I have now for CPU cooling (at $30-ish), but I was wondering if there was anything better in the $50 range (I could do $60 for something that is really worth it)
I believe the R4 case says it can fit coolers up to 160 mm (EVO barely clears this at 159 mm)
The build will be for gaming, and I do want to try overclocking when I learn more about it, but am not looking for any really high overclocks.
