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.
 
Solution
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.
