What do you guys recommend for cooling for my proposed system? I plan on mildly overclocking it 3.8~4.0 GHz. I assume any bought liquid cooling system (such as Corsair H70) is not worth it?? Or what do ya'll recommend for fans/LC?



-Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

- GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard ($90)

- MSI Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x1 ($140)

- G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) ($60)

- AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor ($160)
-other parts yet to be spec'd

appreciate it
 
Coolermaster 212 evo here as well. It is cheap but VERY effective only 30ish dollars on newegg. It is what i used for my first build and it works great. Well i used the 212+ which is pretty much exactly the same.
 
I would recommend the Thermalright True Spirit 140 for $ 40 available at nan's gaming gear.
