Hi, fellas!

Recently I changed my old i3-2120 to a brand new i5-4670, and I'd like to buy a new cooler as well

Currently I have an Arctic Freezer Xtreme rev2 on it, the temps are fine, about 30c idle and 45-48c playing Watch Dogs, but it's two years old now and the fan's bearing is starting to get loud and vibrating slightly, AAAAND it has a unique shaped frame which makes it impossible to swap another fan into it, so I feel more comfortable by buying a nice new one

My budget is a little tight at the moment, so I've been eyeballing a Be quiet! Dark Rock 3. It looks simply amazing, and it has a replaceable fan-design, but I'm not sure the cooling block would be enough for my new CPU (I'm not planning to overclock it or anything, I just like my PC nice and quiet while gaming)


So, what do you guys say? :) 
Can a cooler like this one for only 90 bucks be enough?

You can't overclock your cpu, so the stock will be fine, or if you want to be safe, a cooler master hyper evo 212 will do, only if you oc will you need a cooler like the dark rock
