Hello, I am thinking of getting a new cooler for my CPU (AMD FX 8320) and I was wondering what I should get. I have an Asus m5a78l-m USB 3.0 motherboard and a Neptune Gaming case, I'm not looking to spend that much money either..

Thanks!

Here's a few suggestions weather you want to go Air or water.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683... (Best budget cooler, bang for buck)

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683... (Quite a bit more expensive but likely the best air cooler you can get)

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683... (Nice entry level water cooler)

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683... (Great water cooler if you want to go all-out)

I linked all newegg but prices can vary.

fx 8320 really dont work well with any mobos other than a 990fx(can work with 970 though) it wont really overclock well. but you can try a hyper evo 212(25$) great price performance or a nice phanteks cooler.

Thanks for the answers, it seems the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is the way to go.
And it will definitely fit my motherboard and case or whatever right? lol

Edit: Actually.. You know what.. I just looked at the dimensions. i don't see why it wouldn't fit. You should have ~20mm wiggle room!
