I'm planning to get a Barton XP2800+ cpu OEM, I have about £20 to spend- what's the best CPU fan and Heatsink I could get for it at this price?

After all, I like my games, meanibng stressful loads, and I don't want it overheating- I like an nice cool PC! :D

Woah, i didnt think you could get one that cheap, if you coupled that with a vantec tornado you would get some really good overclocks. It would be a bit noisy right enough.

I was about to flame you for ignoring his £20 price limit but wow, it seems you are right. Granted it doesn't come with a fan which is definetly necessary, but that's a good heatsink for the wonga.

Get a Cooler Master aero 4 lite and a tube of arctic silver 5.

Keeps my 2500+ @ 3200+ speeds at 50° at full load.
