Last response: in Overclocking

I am going to be building a new PC soon in December and i don't know which heat sink to get. It needs to be under $50 dollars and i would like it to look nice. I am getting the Cooler Master HAF X and i was thinking about the 212+ but i would like something a little more nicer looking. So just toss me some ideas please and thanks :)

For $50 dollars you could get the Thermal Right True Spirit 140 from Nan's Gaming Gear (nansgaminggear.net). They're selling it for $39.95 and if you spend over $70 you can get free shipping (you can also buy some system fans there.)

is there a water cooling solution or something else for the same price you would recommend? The only reason i chose air cooling for right now is because I don't have enough money for a good water cooler.
