CPU cooler?

Hi, Im debating my build, and am currently looking at going for the E2160 with a Gigaybyte P35-DS3R mobo. Just wondering if somebody can recommend me a decent CPU cooler that doesnt cost too much (no more than about £20). I wont be going mad with the OCing, just to around 2.5ghz. Also, do the coolers tend to come with thermal paste?

How is the Akasa AK-965 Low Noise CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)?

For cheap, I would go with an AF7, I'm using one atm and it keeps me pretty cool

Yeah they do come with paste applied, although its down to personal preference whether you want to replace it or not

I use arctic silver with the Arctic Freezer 7 and works like a charm, is very comfortable at 3.2Ghz on my E6600. Both cores max out at under 47 degrees full load.

Damn that's good, as I'm getting around 55 degrees under load while stressing my e4300 at stock speeds!
