Ok guys, I'm confused on what cooler to buy for my mobo and cpu combo.  Just so you know below are the mobo and cpu I'm getting but I want a good cooler b/c I'm planning to overclock the cpu to at least 3.0 ghz per core.

 

MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail  AMD Phenom 9950 2.6GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HD995ZXAGHBOX - Retail  
ok, so what cooler would you guys recommend? if you need to know also, It's going into a thermaltake armor full tower case and I'm going to be running 8G / 4 strips in the mobo.  Thanks guys.

Can't do much better than this at such price.

cool cool, i was looking for something like these though

 

ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler - Retail 
Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler for LGA775 & K8 - Retail  but if that one is a better choice then I'll go for it.  I was looking at the thermaltake fan and only problem with it is the size of it :(  I don't know if it will fit the combo I'm going with,  the Zalman I love the style but I don't know if it will work and its got a green led light instead of the matching blue...   What you guys think?
 

I think if you're getting to the $50 mark for the cooling, you'll be better off with a Tuniq Tower.

That is a nice cooler... just make sure you have the clearance in your case.
