Hi. I need advice for a suitable cpu cooler for my system. My cpu, mobo and case are:

AMD FX 8320
Asus M5A97 R2.0
Zalman Z3 Plus

My main choices for the cooler are:

Cooler Master HYPER 103
Cooler Master HYPER TX3 EVO
Thermaltake NIC F3

Are those suitable with my cpu? Will they fit in my case?

Go with either the TX3 or F3 since a 120mm fan is always better. Any of the three would do fine for moderate overclocks or leaving it at stock. But, the 120mm fans will be quieter while still providing adequate cooling. Which ever of the 120mm ones are cheaper is the one you should get. They are basically the same design and any temp or noise differences will be minimal.

That is a good one. I picked one up from Tiger Direct last year when they had a rebate for $10. It is a very quiet fan and actually about an inch or so wider than the Hyper 212 Evo (which I also have on another PC). The only thing I don't like about it is the fan mounting system.
