Hi im looking at getting a cpu fan so I can overclock further.
I currently have overclocked my Athlon II X4 635 to 3.3GHz with the stock fan.
I also have the Silverstone SST-PS03B Precision Midi Tower Case and are looking at getting one or two new case fans.
I have around £30-40 to spend and want good value for money.
Please help me with what to get
 
If they are 120mm fans the Akasa Apaches should perform decent or some Sharkoon Silent Eagles 1000rpm ones.(apparently some sites have stated these being amongst the best silent case fans.)

If you not too fussed with some noise then get Akasa Viper fans they are awesome this is assuming of course if it's 120mm fans you are after.

EDIT: Seems the case has 2x120mm fans and an optional 140mm fan if so that could be a Silent Eagle or a Yate Loon 140mm.

Scythe Slipstreams make exceptional CPU fans, especially the 1850rpm ones.
If temps are really giving you trouble you could get the 38mm San Ace fans, they are pretty much the best high performance fans you can get with decent acoustic profiles.
 
Titan Fenrir EVO is one of the best valued coolers at the moment or the Akasa Venom cooler.(make sure you have the room for either if you decide on these but they should perform very good.)

I would say get the cooler before any fans as the case cooling should be decent enough whereas the cooler would be a huge upgrade if one of the above as stock coolers are very poor for overclocking.

What about the Gelid Tranquillo?
From what I have read it looks really good for the price.
 
Yeah that's a very good cooler too, around same peformance as the other two also Thermaltake Frio is good aswell.
