Forum Overclocking : Heatsinks & Air Cooling [Solved] 965BE air cooler recommendations

looking to replace the stock cooler on my 965be, will be overclocking to hopefully around 4ghz (have a c3 stepping)
ive done some research on them lately and see a good budget cooler is a cm212evo @around 40$. and some higher priced ones being noctua nh-d14,thermalright silver arrow. to name a few. id like to stay under 100$ and want a cooler that can be used in the future eg: upgrading cpu

my ram is patriot sector 5-24gb sticks and ive recently gotten a new hafx 942 case so i have room for prety much anything id imagine.

basically want the best cooler for my budget that will allow me to use it for years down the road. will be purchasing off ncix.ca, tigerdirect.ca or memory express, but newegg links seem to be the standard to thats fine.

Pricematch at NCIX
The best price/performance cooler imo is the Thermalright True Spirit @$40 = puts alot of $60+ coolers too shame.
