Hi i am looking to overclock and need a new cooler. Been looking online and haven't really found a good answer, if someone could tell me the best cooler for my build that would be great. Here is what i have in my system: CPU - AMD FX-8370, Motherboard - 990FXA-UD3 R5, 2x4gb ram (can't remember the name) and this case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006I2H0YS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

"Best:" is subjective, relative to what kind of OC you want to achieve, your budget & whether you prefer liquid or Air cooling.
Air coolers are (generally) larger - and the 300R can accommodate some of the largest..... so you have lots of options.
Equally, there's support for up to 280mm radiators too - so you have the vast majority of AIO liquid coolers available to you too.
Given where the 8370 sits as a value proposition, I wouldn't look to invest too much into the platform.
I'd suggest limiting yourself to $50 or so for a solid cooler.
Something like a Noctua NH-U14S, be quiet! Dark Rock 2, Cryorig H5 Ultimate or H7 would all be viable options in the $30-$60 range.

Your case has 170mm available for a cooler.
That will fit virtually any air cooler you want.
For $35, look at the scythe kotetsu.
Here is a review:

I have use this before, it is easy to install, cools well and is very quiet.
If you want the best of the best, look at the noctua NH-D15s. Perhaps $80.
