Hey there, i've recently been browsing these forums looking for a viable cooling solution for my rig and i've seen a few different answers but i'm wondering what would be best for my needs. So heres the specs of my current rig:
AMD-FX-8350 8 core (Vishera)
Asus M5A99x Evo R2.0
Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz(2x8GB)
750w 80+ bronze power supply
XFX 7850 2GB
Aerocool X-Predator X1 Devil gaming case Link here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008XBU3R8/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now for my usage, i have recently been playing BF4 which has had a big impact on cpu usage
and the problem with this is of course the stock cooler just isn't really cutting it. I've been putting off some things i'd like to do because of the cooling situation such as video editing which pushes the temperature up.

In summer my processor idled at 45ish C and when gaming goes up to the high 60's which im not comfortable with, now i personally think that something from the corsair's sealed liquid cooling would be good and am wondering if i could mount the 240m radiator onto the top of my case. if not what would give me much cooler temp's and provide room for some small overclocking? Price ranging from £60-£120
 
You can mount a 240mm on the top of your case, assuming you have somewhere to mount it to. The H110 is a great cooler, although maybe overkill. You would be fine with something like an H60, you would have plenty of room for overclocking with that.
