Hello. I recently found out I can overclock my PC. But I need a better cooler than stock to do that. My price range is $80-$150. Any cooler is fine between that price range. If you do find a good cooler for those specs, if you want to, include a link to where I can buy it. Thanks!

Specs
---------------------------
CPU- AMD FX-4300 @ 3.8GHz
GPU- AMD Radeon R7 240 @ 2GB Dedicated Memory
RAM- 8GB

That cpu is a socket AM3+ which most coolers now come with mounts for. Id suggest a Corsair H series cooler like the H100i or H110i cooler for a nice quiet computer while having some decent overclocking room since it is water cooling

The place where i bought this from (and other sites of where I studied this PC and its specs) all say it allows overclocking.
