i have an FX8320 and Asrock 970 Extreme 3 R2.0 mobo. I dont plan to overclock this is for an editing rig no gaming but i want to keep my components cool for many after effects and premiere pro sessions and renders. I plan to pick up an 990fx board in a month or so but I need a decent cooler sub 50 - 60 bucks. Any suggestions?

the issue is i already have all the parts on that list I want to order a cooler this weekend. Ill gonna research a little more about what im looking for in a cooler I never used one thanks for your input the evo was my initial pick but once i found out what other people did that had those the only option was to remove the side fan and i dont know if i care to do that.
