I want a good, smaller CPU cooler that'll at keep it a good bit cooler than the stock cooler. The stock cooler lets it run at almost 95C at stock clocks and idles at 45. I also have the large Corsair Vengeance ram.

I am not really interested in overclocking, just games. I can't even play games at full CPU speed because it tops 60-70C in less than 5 seconds. I also do not want one that'll be too difficult nor do I want one that'll put a large amount of stress on the board.

That means no 212 EVO. That means no outrageously huge Phanteks.

Low profile fans don't matter to me as long as it can actually keep up with the games I want to play. The easier it is to install and the better it does is all that matters to me, price isn't important.

CPU: 4770k (may OC one day)
Motherboard: Z87-G45
GPU: 660 Ti SC
PSU: HX850
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Case: NZXT Phantom
 
you could go with watercooling, for example H60 from Corsair. it will be quiet and will put next to no pressure on the board and also when it comes to overclocking time you will easily get your 4770k way past 4GHz.

Hope this Helps!
