ermm u dont wanna spend more than 50 bucks on what? the actual proc. or cooling?? if coolin, then thats no prob, get an xp-90 with a 92mm fan...as for overclocking...the stock 3500+ is what, 2.2ghz? most people can get 2.6-2.7ghz out of there venices...depends on how high u wanna take ur voltage

Eclipse should be the one doing this:

Simple, easy, fun, stable when tested, and free (even with a stock cooler). No need to upgrade your current cooler, overclocking is possible even with the stock cooler. No, it won't blow up, fry, or otherwise get damaged unless you run extreme voltage to it (1.75+ on stock cooling imo), or subject it to extreme heat (65-70C). I assume the $50 was for a HSF right? See what it'll do with the stock cooler, then decide on whether or not you even want another HSF, you may be satisfied with the headroom the stock cooler allows.
