and a Sapphire Radeon HD4890 1GB graphics card (Slightly overclocked) and 750W Power supply.
My question is:
Considering the AMD Phenom is a black edition processor, could someone please suggest a good heatsink, because they don't come with one, and I wouldn't know what to look for.
Also, Would fans be able to cool down this system? or would I need to install a water cooling system? I really wouldn't like to spend another 100-200 dollars (Australian) buying a water cooling system if I can cool it just from fans inside the computer.
If you buy the 955 from Newegg, it DOES come with a HSF.
You won't need to water-cool. Your proposed OC is even less than the generally mild ones I do. Even the stock HSF should be enough.
+1 ^ , but just in case your 955 BE is an oem with no heat sink here's frostytechs best 5 (10) heatsink list. Check the AMD lists there are 2 lists one for best cooling and 1 for quiet. With your modest overclock any would be fine.

Hi, thanks for the links and help. Much appreciated.
Would a heatsink that fits a 940, AM2 socket fit this processor? The processor that i linked above is AM3, and I haven't found any heatsinks that specifically say "AM3 Support", I've only seen "940 and AM2" support.
