is that a really good company for fans? I know i forgot to list budget thats my fault but was hoping for something cheaper cause i noticed a one from cooler master on new egg just now for 35 dollars its 212 evo and sorry i dont know too much so maybe the noctua is worth the extra money over that one

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is the best budget CPU cooler.Noctua coolers are more for extreme OCing and for people who have enough money for a PC that they don't know what to do with it.
I have a CM Hyper 212 EVO and I'm really happy.I can't hear it,even when playing Crysis 3 at high with no AA. It's that quiet. ;)

Hyper N520 Fan Noise Level 19 dBA (no PWM control)
Hyper 212 Fan Noise Level 9 - 36 dBA

So it looks like the N520 will be a little louder at low temps, but the 212 will be louder when it ramps up.

Both are overkill as far as cooling your system, but I'd personally probably take the 212 over the N520 if noise is my main concern. It will also depend on your ambient temperatures. That's what will decide how hard the 212 will be ramping up. I'm in Canada now so things stay pretty cool - low fan speed - nice and quiet.
