You probably want a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

Cheap and easy to install.
I wouldn't worry about overclocking it until you get it stable first.

It comes with instructions, but it's pretty straight forward.
Remove your mobo, mount the cooler per the instructions (usually making sure you have the right back bracket, which it'll have pictures of, and making sure you add some TIM), and then re-insert the mobo. You could also try installing it directly into the case, but that might be a little more tricky.

ILL suggest the K380 coolermaster....just insert 4 fans into the case and spend about 40-60$ on your CPU fan.... you will get a lot of better performance in games he he :)
