What I've got:
CPU: AMD FX-8320
CPU cooler: stock box cooler
MB: Asus 970 PRO GAMING/AURA
Case: Aerocool V3X Advance

Well, the stock cooler is pretty bad, considering that I'm going to overclock the CPU (gently, like 4.0 Ghz).
Another obvious problem is the case. It doesn't really allow to install a cooler higher than 150mm.

So I'm thinking:
1) Buy a bigger case and a decent cooler like Hyper 212 EVO or, hell, a Lucifer. It'll screw up my budget a bit, so if nothing else works, i'll go for this option.
2) Keep the case, install side fan(s) and have something low-profile like Scythe Grand Kama Cross 3 or Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B (or something else, I'm open to suggestions here).

Hope you guys can help :)
