First time computer build! Assistance needed!

I decided that I don't want to go with a liquid CPU cooler. Can someone recommend me a good fan that will get the job done?
 
i disagree, i don't think anyone should use stock CPU fans if they can afford and have the time to get something else. They're noisy, and they're horrible coolers.

I highly recommend this fan if you have the room for it because it's HUGE

And I disagree, again. You must be stuck in the Socket 423 era or so. Intel's fans are very quiet, and I'm betting their thermal paste is better than before (or the crappy white ones that you have to buy)...

I had a Celeron D 420 1.6GHz, OC'd to 2.13GHz, stock fan, and I still can't hear it.
