I'm buying a cooler for my cpu (an amd fx 6300) so I can overclock it from 3.9 ghz to 4.4 ghz (I'd be fine overclocking to less).

i am mounting it on a biostar BiostarTA970 mobo

using 2*4gig ram chips kingston hyper x

which cpu cooler to fit my mobo can you guys recommend? i had early that the shape of ram chips can affect cpu coolers fitting!

I use the hyper 212 evo on my 6300 to get 4.4ghz. The thermal paste that comes with it isn't bad, but I had better luck with Gelid GC-extreme.

Also, your ram shouldn't interfere with the fit of the cooler, though it might block one of your ram slots. It does in mine :/
