Hi
I'm not sure if this question has been asked before or not but...
It's between the Antec A40. Deep Cool Gammaxx 400 and maybe the Antec C40 (past my budget).

The hyper x series is too expensive.
I'm not in need of it. I just always wanted it.

I prefer the Deep Cool as it does more CFM around 74 and both Antec's does 38...

Any ideas which would be better?
Thanks

I wouldn't say that, if you can't afford it, don't buy it.

There are many in that rough price range to choose from.

be quiet! - Pure Rock Slim $25
Cooler Master - Hyper T4 (The smaller cousin of the evo 212) $25
Cooler Master Hyper 212 $30
Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 $30 (This is a very tall cooler, doesn't fit in all cases)
Cryorig H7 $30

etc.

Don't let the CFM numbers sway you too much. High CFM just means more noise, ideally the cooler wouldn't get warm enough for the CPU fan to need to spin that fast though, but is there if needed. Depends on if your priority is cooling performance or noise.

Basically in South Africa we getting ripped off!

The antec a40 is 30.5$
Deep Cool 400 is 32$
the hyper 212 is about 40$

On hot days I know the cpu heats up when I occasionally game just over 50°c
I don't mind the noise.
I doubt it would be worse than my gpu radiator fan at max when gaming.
