I have an AMD FX-6300 and I get around 40°-50°C when surfing the internet. I'm not sure if this is good since i'm still learning about computers, but I just want to be on the safe side and get a better CPU cooler. Right now I'm using the stock cooler that came along with the CPU.
I have an NZXT Source 210 Elite and an Asrock 960gm/u3s3 fx mobo. Looking for something around $30-$40 by tomorrow. Thanks!

If you aren't interested in overclocking i'd get the Arctic Freezer Pro 7. Only $20 and runs silently. You might be able to do some small overclocks with it. My FX-4170 ran in the 50's with the stock cooler, it runs in the 20's with this new one.

Evo won't fit that case. I had a nzxt source variant and I learned it the hard way $$$ that 160mm tall heatsinks won't fit it. TX3 is a solid choice, easy install but will face towards the top of the case instead of front to back. You can get the hyper t4 as 152mm is the sweet spot for that case.

Thanks! I ordered it last night and should arrive tomorrow. I checked on NZXT's website to see if it would fit in my case and it will.
