We before you even get into overclocking. there is always a risk in Unlocking cores. you are taking a chance that those unlocked cores are ok. Many times a manufacturer will lock cores that are defective.
As far as overclocking, it puts stress and heat on your system so you will want decent cooling solutions but honestly if you are going to invest in coolers to deal with your overclocking, perhaps its easier to start with something with more power and run that at stock?

Well you got the motherboard so there is no going back, work with what you have I guess
The Phenom II is a very good chip. I wouldn't unlock the cores but overclocking it a little is ok if you are careful. As for coolers and a case, I would recommend the NZXT sorce 210, its a good spacious case and is fairly inexpensive. For a CPU cooler I would suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO, its an excellent CPU cooler and is the best value for the money. as for RAM coolers, you dont need to worry about that unless you overclock the RAM too, if you do then I suggest Corsair Vengeance RAM, they have built in aluminium cooling fins. Just make sure they fit with the CPU cooler in place as it can overlap and block RAM ports on some motherboards.

If you are asking if the built in coolers on the Vengence RAM will be good enough, then yes I believe it should as long as you dont push it too much. I would say going one step over whatever the Rated Ram Speed should be ok. For example if your RAM is 1600mhz then you could push it to 1866mhz. If you want to go much higher then I would suggest special dedicated coolers and really you are then getting into more complex areas. I would suggest keeping things moderate since you are not experienced yet and will be working with older equipment.

those are your North and South bridges and you *can* put coolers on them but really its not needed except in extreme Overclocking. What I would do is just make sure you have good intake fans in the front of the case so they are blowing nice cool air over those areas and you should be fine. If you have a case with vents on the top I would mount a pair of exhaust fans on top so the hot air that rises blows right out of the top of the case. If you do this make sure your CPU cooler is mounted so the fan is blowing upwards. Alternatively you can mount your exhaust fans on the back of the case. In this arrangement you would mount the CPU cooler to be blowing towards the back of the case so the airflow goes from front to back.

I would not recommend it. it is not really needed and a lot of times the manufacturer uses adhesives to attach the heat sinks to the chipsets. which means when you pull them out, you might yank the chip out too and damage it.
Its really not necessary for what you want. The CPU, RAM an GPU are the key elements. most over clockers just cool the CPU.

That looks like an ok case. The only problem I see is that it will not be deep enough if you go with the CoolerMaster Hyper 212EVO cooler or any other large CPU cooler, its just a few centimeters too narrow.
I have listed two of my favorite cases that do fit the 212 cooler or a variaty of other CPU coolers that are 120mm in size. Now I could not find a listing in Bosnia so I listed one in Germany, I don't know if that is close enough. It will give you the model number and specs at least and then you can look it up in local e-stores in Bosnia.
The Corsiar 300R is my absolute favorite Case, its large and has great airflow. Its also solid and has good clearance underneath so the power supply gets good air.
http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-300r
The NZXT Source 210 is also a great case, I use this a lot for clients. Its smaller then the 300R and its cheaper but it still has enough room inside to fit a large CPU cooler.
http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-s210001
Let me know what you think.
EDIT: OF course you can stick with the silverstone case and get a Liquid cooler like the Corsair H100i. It will cool as well if not better then the 212 and it wont require anywhere near the headroom. the biggest downfall of the 212EVO is that its huge and takes up a lot of space in your case and can get in the way of your RAM chips if your chips have large heatsinks on them.

I dont have any experience with this cooler but from the photos it looks like you should be able to attach a second fan without problem. Make sure its fits in your case. from the specs it is over 161mm tall. make sure you have at least that much clearance inside your case. look at the specs and check out the "cpu clearance" section.

If you are refering to the Silverstone Reline RL01 then no it will not be big enough for the cooler you listed. the Corsair Cabite 300R will be be enough for the ThermalTake cooler. The NZXT source 210 will be big enough for the Coolermaster Hyper 212EVO cooler but not the Thermaltake cooler you listed.

The NZXT source 530 will give you 183mm of clearance for a CPU cooler. that will give you room for almost any cooler. Its a very large case though and a bit more then the others.
If you want the best value then go with the Source 210 and the Coolermaster 212. you will get excellent cooling for the least amount of money. If you really plan to overclock a lot though I would really consider the Corsair H100i liquid cooler. Its more money then the air coolers but does a bit better at cooling your CPU.

Its hard to say without seeing how you removed it and what happened to it but very little good ever comes from yanking anything out of a computer with force. its possible you could have damaged the fan or perhaps dislodged the heat sink from the GPU chip. that would be my best guess considering it keeps overheating an apparently the problem is getting worse. my suggestion would be to replace it.

The heat sink that came with your CPU will not be compatible with any aftermarket cooler you get so if you plan to get an upgraded cooler, dont bother installing the stock heat sink. It is also important that you don't turn your computer on until the new cooler is installed and in place. without a cooler a CPU can reach shut down temperatures within 10 seconds.
As for what cooler, I would need to know what case you got. then I can suggest a cooler that will fit.

Which CPU heatsink/cooler did you with? If you went with he Cooler Master 212 then the Elite 241 case will not work, its not deep enough. I couldn't fin inner dimensions on the Storm scout but judging from the sheer with of the case (219mm) it should be wide enough for the 212. the other coolers you referenced, like the thermal take one...I don't know because they are a bit larger then the CM hyper 212.

I honestly dont know if the Storm scout will work, it should, at the very least it should work with the CM 212.
your other option is to go with a liquid cooler like a Corsair H100i. Just make sure the case you pick can top mount a radiator and you will be good. you can fit a liquid cooler into a much more narrow case then you can an air cooler.
