I am planning on getting an AMD X4 955, 965 or 975(maybe)

So which cooler should i buy among these:-

cooler master Hyper 212+:- INR 2400

corsair H50 liquid cooler :-INR 4600

which would be the best combination(price) if i have to overclock above 4 Ghz.

Can i play games that demand high processing speeds like crysis or gta 4 or tekken 6.

if you care about noise then invest in water cooling, that said if you don't care air cooling is just as efficient and sometimes more reliable. if you plan on going water cooled, try buying something like a modular corsair unit which i have found to be extremely well priced and well made.

Either one will work well at 4 GHz... I would go with the H80.. I have the H50, H60, and H100....The newer revisions workmuch better than the old H50 and H70's....As for the Hyper 212+ it works better than most all air coolers..So good choice on that. Depending on the rest of your rig yes you will be able to play your games with no problems

also i found another cooler thats more expensive but seems to be a good one:-

Noctua NH-D14

Will this one allow me to take the amd above 4 GHz

i am planning on getting a rig with following system:-

Ram :- 8 gb 1600mhz

hd:- 1 TB

graphics:- evga 550ti/ATI 6850

max res.:- 1600*900

Please recommend the best cooler for me.

WILL THIS RIG BE ENOUGH TO PLAY GTA 4, CRYSIS,COD6, AC3 AND FEW SUCH GAMES WITH FULL SETTINGS MAXED OUT AT 1600*900 RES. OR SHOULD I OVERCLOCK.

iF IT CAN'T WHAT SHOULD I CHANGE.
