Hey,

Are you planning to overclock? If you do, I would get a more powerful cooler. Very good coolers for good prices are the ones with Heatpipe Direct Touch technology. I think the name explains what it is about.
Known coolers with that tech are Xigmatek HDT-S1283, OCZ Vendetta 2 and Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer.
Other good branches are Thermalright and Scythe, but if you would go for a Thermalright cooler, don't buy the Ultra 120 Extreme. It's base isn't flat. Get the Ultra 120 instead.
