I was wondering, should i stick to the stock heat sync or buy a new and better heatsync for my cpu(i5 3670k 3.4 ghz quad core ), and plz make the price reasonable and low as possible
 
Solution
NZTX does not say the maximum CPU cooler supported on their website, but I do guess it is around the 170 mm mark or maybe more. Anyway - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is your answer. 30 bucks and beats coolers for 40 or even 50.

But to get a higher OC you need something beefier. Phanteks PH-TC14 for around $80 is a top choice. You decide how much do you want to spend.
