I've customized a compaq presario 5wv254 case for a mini side project that i'm working on. It will have these parts:

AMD FX 6300 CPU
MSI 760GM-P34 (FX) AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
8GB RAM
600W EVGA PSU
1.5 TB HDD
120 GB SSD
GTX630

So I have an extra hyper evo 212 laying around, but i dont have the board yet so I cant really measure, but I'm almost positive that it will not fit in this case. What's a decent CPU cooler I can use for this (air if possible) that will fit and be better than a stock cooler? This rig will be my "entertainment center" pc so it will be used mainly for video.
 
Solution
Cooler Master TX3? Given, it fits. You shouldn't really oc on it, but for stock speeds its better and quieter than the stock cooler. And should fit your case. However, if you manage to get the evo in, thats a whole different league. Good luck.
