Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)

All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

I would not put more than a 6870 on that Sigma (Raidmax) psu. They were not good when they were new and it is now pushing at least 3 years seeing as they were discontinued in 2010. Unless you plan on changing the psu, stick to low power consumption card (ie: no 6950 or 480).

Thanks for all the suggestions I ended up having to cut my budget down some, but ended up picking up a 7770 for $110 shipped. It should cover everything I require of it.
