Hello, I will buy AMDs FX-8350 CPU (8x4Ghz). I want to play games like Battlefield 4 and soon Farcry 4. (My Gpu is Nvidias gtx 970) I'm sure that I will use the CPU for gaming very often and I don't think that the standard certified AMD cooler is enough for that. I have the choice between the following coolers:
AMD certified cooler (x)
Alpenföhn SuperSilent SI (x+4.99)
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev2 (x+14.99)
RAIJINTEK Aidos Heatpipe CPU-cooler (x+19.99)
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO (x+19.99)
Thermaltake FRIO Silent 12 (x+34.99)
Tell me what cooler you think is the most appropriate. Thank you!

Grab a 212 EVO. I have a 6300 and it dropped my temps by over 20C. It's a bit loud (maybe my fan is a lemon), but you can adjust the fan speed from 100% to 50% with barely any temp differences. Just make sure it will fit in your case.
