So I was wondering what's better among these two low profile coolers because currently im using the stock cooler and my i5 is reaching about 70 degrees when playing watch dogs on medium settings
CM Vortex Plus(about 27 USD in my area)

or Noctua NH-L9i(about 35 USD in my area)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608029&cm_re=noctua_l9i-_-35-608-029-_-Product
well the price for the noctua in newegg is very far off from the price here in one of the local PC shops
so anyway, I would like you guys to judge those coolers based on their overall performance
ohh and will these coolers hit any of my other components?(you know like ram or GPU or even the PSU perhaps)
or if you guys can suggest a better low profile cpu cooler then that would be great(in the 35 USD and below range if possible)
If it matters, my specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690
MOBO: ASUS Z97M-Plus(mATX Form factor)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB DDR3
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD7770 Ghz Ed
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620W
CASING: CM Elite 343
^yes I know, my casing is good enough for a bigger cooler but I just prefer smaller ones
I mainly use my computer for gaming(such as playing watch dogs on medium settings or CS:GO)
thanks in advance!
