This by far; Cooler master Hyper 212 EVO and only $35
It supports FM2 socket, and yes not FM2+ though it supports that also.

You will find no other CPU cooler cheaper or slightly more expensive that is better then that one, highly recommend it. 5/5 egg rating for 8,804 reviews, that is amazing.

Thank you. I had looked at that model, but couldn't find any info on if it supported FM2. What kind of overclock do you think it will allow on an Athlon X4 760K?
P.S. Would it fit in this case? http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=835

I'd OC it to 4.2 with that CPU cooler and it'll have very respectable temps indeed. You could take it to 4.5Ghz but AMD CPU's aren't the best when it comes to OC. Though the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO can do 4.5Ghz temps from the 750k, the CPU doesn't like it. I'd do 4.2Ghz.
Just measure to see that you have 14cm+ of space between the motherboard and the side panel and your set. I aren't sure of the space it has that's all.
EDIT; Cooler Master Website states FM2 support.
