So, I have recently built a PC, and when I play bf4, it is sometimes just too loud. It doesn't get really hot since it's the winter time, but yeah. I don't know alot about how cooling works and what watercoolers are, etc. but please do suggest something to get rid of the loud noise and also, keep it cool in the summers. My specs are:
AMD FX 8320 BE 8 core processor
Cooler Master Force 500 FOR-500-KKN1 Mid Tower Cabinet
Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon Dual-X R9 270X with Boost OC 2 GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card
Would Cooler Master Hyper 212x Cooler fit in my system? Is it good? Worth it? Please answer quick!!
Thanks in advance,
Prithvi.

Even the largest cpu tower cooler will not infringe on gpu space on an ATX board. They'd never be able to sell one if they did. The only 2 clearance issues possible concerning tower coolers is 1. Is the width from cpu to case and 2. Ram slot #1.

In your case dimensions it should list maximum height of cooler (ie. 165mm etc) and for most boards running 2x sticks of ram in dual channel mode they should be in #2 and #4, so thats not usually an issue.

The cm for-500-kkn1 has a maximum cooler height of 163.9mm so you could easily fit a 159mm hyper212 EVO, or even a nh-d14 or cryorig H5 at 160mm.

I use msi afterburner which lets you choose your fan speed (on Graphics card) and control GPU temperatures. Don't put it too low as it may start to overheat under high graphics and don't have them running at 100% for too long. Hope this helps.

AMD CPU's stock coolers are indeed quite loud and not very good to keep it cool, certainly an Evo 212 is a great choice for the job, monitor your CPU and GPU temps before jumping into any conclusion, but regardless of the results I'd say get that Evo 212 anyways.

You can monitor your temps with HWMonitor Pro or with GPU-Z for GPU and AMD Overdrive for CPU.

If you are using stock fan that it is that. But using MSI afterburner would be a good idea to see if your GPU is the issue. I do think it is your fan because mine used to make a lot of noise...Yes the 212 Evo will fit

I am using a FX 6300 and the stock fan used to get load under a load (BF4, BF3 Far Cry 4). I just added 3 more case fans and now it doesn't ever go above 50c with my 5 case fans in while under a heavy load

What do you mean it is that one too? You mean the problem being the CPU?
I just ran bf4 and saw the temps and speed in Afterburner and another software.
Afterburner (GPU) fan speed = 39/100, temp. 53-55
CPU = temp. = 60.
So yeah, please answer now, will buying the cooler solve the noise and cooling problem?

Yes. The results say it's your CPU, that is usually when the Cooler kicks the speed up a notch or 2 and it gets loud as shit. Buy the cooler. and your problems will be solved. The temps on your GPU is very cool for it to be BF4

Fans make noise, and a lot of it. Anything with a fan attached to it like the gpu or the cpu has a temperature gradient, the hotter it gets the faster the fan spins to try and cool it down. The problem with the stock coolers on cpu's is the amount of heat it will dissipate. its somewhere around 5w higher than the maximum the cpu can output. What this means is when you game, you use a lot of cup power, and a lot of gpu power, and all that gets turned into heat. A LOT of it, so the fans on the gpu and cpu spin up very fast, and make huge amounts of noise.

Aftermarket cpu coolers such as the Hyper212 mentioned above, have 185w worth of cooling potential as compared to the 125w cpu, MUCH better at cooling with a lower fan speed.

But it still uses a fan, and will still make noise, just not nearly as much as the feeble stock cooler.

This is true. but in his case it is the CPU, not the GPU, he stated that clearly when he posted the temps for both the CPU and GPU

Itis normal for a CPU to go up to 70c with a stock cooler and it is normal for a GPU to go up to even 80c

Guys, have you calculated though, whether the WHOLE cooler will fit inside or not? I mean the GPU etc is pretty big, soo.. Are you sure? Because this cooler is like my one-shot-go. I can't afford to buy more and more coolers. Please take into perspective everything and tell me whether it fits or not? Thanks.
