Like he said it's already on the base of the stock cooler for the fx 6300.But to be clear you should always use cooling paste.

Do you have a budget for a case?

Well read about it and not bad,but not very good either.

Do you have a link to a site where you look? Maybe a country.
Otherwise should i look by using the partpicker, needs to be set at Germany at the right top side for choices in euro's.

Something like this one,
http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/BLACKHAWK
or this one with an extra 120mm fan for in the back,
http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/CC-9011050-WW
or this one,
http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/Z9-PLUS

The second one i like,but can't handle to high coolers=<150mm according to corsair.I've seen reviews that use a cooler like the eve in it so that might just be possibel.look for some reviews yourself.This would be my choice.

the first one looks cool and has enough fans.Probably a good pick for that money.Fans are mostly powered by molex which means that they are powered directly by the psu and will run at full rpm.

I would pick the z9 over the z3 when it comes to zalman.

Find some reviews and read them,they give more info than i can.

I see that i'm a little slow.:D

The corsair is a good choice imo.I would have gone for that too like i already said.

For the rosewill case from the rosewill site,

Advanced Cooling System :
-Front 2x 120mm Blue LED Fan (pre-installed)
-Rear 1x 120mm Fan (pre-installed)
-Top 1x 140mm Blue LED Fan (pre-installed) or 2x 120/140mm Fan (optional)
-Side 1x 120mm Fan (pre-installed)
-Bottom 1x 120/140mm Fan (optional)
-Behind motherboard 1x 120mm Fan(18mm thickness only)(optional)
Click to expand...
So five fans pre-installed.
