I've been tinkering with my new build now for a little while (which everyone here helped me make, you guys are super awesome) and am now thinking of grabbing a decent heatsink and fan for some fun OC'ing, heres my relevant specs:

Phenom II 720 BE
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P
Corsair 750Watt PSU
NZXT Tempest Case

The case is reasonably large for a mid-size, I was thinking of something like http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] k%20knight ... I'm in Canada too, so please search Newegg.ca not ".com". But I have very little experience with coolers.

Any help is good help!

Yes, that cooler is great. Also make sure you have several fans hooked up (that case holds 4 x 120mm, 2 x 140mm).

Great. Also is it worth it to get a Fan control as well? I mean my exhaust fans and one intake fan run at w/e rpm is used when plugged directly to the PSU.
