Hello people of Tom's Hardware forums I have recently purchased these components and I forgot to buy a cooler so I was going to ask what I should get that's below $30 and if it's better than the cooler I have already picked out. My second question is if the cooler I picked out will fit in my case and on my CPU simple yes or no questions no socket types and stuff :D.

Here are my parts

Case: http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-MicroATX-Tower-Computer-FBM-01/dp/B005LIDU5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431378304&sr=8-1&keywords=Rosewill+Case


Motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Dual-Link-D-Sub-Motherboard-GA-F2A78M-HD2/dp/B00J2LIGBS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1431378362&sr=8-3&keywords=Gigabyte+Fm2%2B+motherboard+Matx

Cpu: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-7600-Graphics-Socket-AD7600YBJABOX/dp/B00LUH1N4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431378500&sr=8-1&keywords=Amd+A8+7600


My choice CPU Cooler: http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Freezer-A11-Heatpipes-Vibration-Dampened/dp/B00HO9P0J6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431376699&sr=8-1&keywords=FM2%2B+CPU+Cooler


Please take into consideration a full sized graphics card like the GTX 960 Thank you in advance :D

Hello,

For the price, the Freezer A11 is OK, go for it. A better one will be Cooler Master Hyper T4 or, a bit over your budget, a CM Hyper 212 EVO, but it will not make a big difference (you won't be able to overclock your CPU anyway). They are also taller than Freezer A11 (T4: 153mm, 212 EVO: 159 mm vs 130 mm for A11), so it will be a tight fit.
