Default Best bang for my buck fan?
Hey guys, I'm building a new rig next month when the E6750 comes out. I plan on overclocking and later down the road going water cooling. For now, I want a good air cooling setup... any suggestions (please not too pricey, I just don't have the budget for it).

Thanks guys!

The GeminII seems to be getting rave reviews around here. Somewhere around $35 on Newegg, but you need to buy fans. If that would put you up too much...look for a deal on the ThermalTake Big Typhoon.

For fans or another heatsink?
What is your budget?

And very loud.

You want quiet?
Go Scythe or Noctua.
Scythe are far less expensive than Noctua though and you don't have to deal with a controller.
