OK, before I ask for your opinions, I must say that I've done some research, so i'm not asking this question out of lazyness. 
I just bought myself a Asrock 4coreDual-VSTA motherboard and am planning on putting an e4300 in it. I've read all over the place that this motherboard goes up to 290-300Mhz FSB easily, but stops there, so this will be a very moderate overclock (~2.7Ghz). I'm hoping this CPU will keep me going for a year or so really, maybe 2 if i'm lucky, as I have to get the rest of my system up to par (monitor, speakers, etc.) So basically, I don't need the BEST HSF, but I would like something that will keep the temps in low enough to get the CPU to 2700Mhz. I'm planning on buying an Antec 900 Gaming case or a Thermaltake Armour, so overall system should be cool enough.
I'm looking at the Scythe Ninja, or i'd really like the Thermalright SI-128. But are there any cheaper options? Like i've said, its basically impossible to get the FSB on this board over 300Mhz, so it doesn't need to be the muts nuts or anything.
Cheers for the help guys, this site rocks!
