The Gigabyte SKT-AM3 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard is a mid range product. It can overclock, yes. However, there will be limitations. Gigabyte says: "EC AOD-ACC is described as Embedded Controller for AMD OverDrive-Advanced Clock Calibration, which is the newest feature comes from AMD SB750 / SB710 SouthBridge chip, destined for the AMD Black Edition CPU to be overclocked through BIOS setting or AMD OverDrive™ utility further than it was previously possible". Ref: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565

So your motherboard and CPU combo is a 100% fit.

The most popular cooler by far is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, which will fit your setup. The price is within your budget @ 20-30 pounds.

Thank you very much Cilliers! But I also need to know what cooler I would need because Right now I have some small amd fan on it. My computer recently overheated and crashed when I played some high end games.
