Hello Guys,

Recently I've made a build choosing FX-6300, currently my system is running at 45c min and 51c max with stock cooler(when watching bluray movies). I am a weekend gamer so I've also bought gtx 750 1gb gpu and going to install it.(I have no intention of OVER CLOCKING) so I am just wondering will my cpu will be overheated if yes I am planning to get a cpu cooler but as I am restricted in budget I have only two options now 1)Deepcool Gammaxx 200 (http://www.flipkart.com/deepcool-gammaxx-200/p/itmd9hkatppgpy5y?pid=COLD9HKAARXXSRAH&srno=b_14&ref=2a23360e-454f-4f9d-8c9a-57837198207f) 2)Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO Cooler (http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-hyper-tx3-evo/p/itmd5xzprhxvefrj?pid=COLD5XZPV75JZAEZ&srno=b_2&ref=2a23360e-454f-4f9d-8c9a-57837198207f) but couldn't decide which one to select as i don't have prior experience with respect to coolers. Please help me to choose best CPU cooler.

1. CORSAIR VS-450 CP-9020009-UK 450 Watts PSU
2. AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor
3. Western Digital 1 TB Desktop SATA Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
4. Kingston (1333 MHZ) Memory Module (4GB DDR-3) for Desktop (KVR16N11S8/4-SP)
5. Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
6. cooler master CM Force 500 cabinet
7. ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750-1GB DDR5 (ZT-70701-10M) Graphics Card

Well, you should have chosen the EVGA Gtx 750 ti 2gb SC... your card will be able to get to those setting but probably not 1080p because of your gpu low VRAM.. your card has only 1 which is not the best.. but including you are gaming at 1080p there might be some games you wont be able to even play medium.. the card is good if you want to play at 720p or so... Dont get me wrong but next time you should really choose a card which has more VRAM.. minimun now days is 2GB and if you can choose ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte cards.. they are more reliable, has higher stock speeds and better cooling.. choose other brand than ZOTAC.. Enjoy your pc and welcome to the master race

A better choice for the budget-oriented is the popular Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for $30. It has a 120mm fan unlike your the TX3 and Deepcool you selected, so it's quieter and pulls more air into its also larger heatsink. You can even mount another fan on the back for better efficiency. In fact, its so good and highly regarded by users that a lot of people consider it a good option for overclock cooling at its price. Overclocking FX-8350's, i5's, and i7's on it is a common occurence. It'll handle your 6300 and can allow for a light overclock easily.

There is a Hyper 212 Plus, the older model of the Evo. You might be able to find it for even cheaper.
