Case Fans & Aftermarket Heatsink questions.

Hi. :)
I built my first computer yesterday, and so far everything seems to be functioning properly, however I don't have an OS, and before I get one, I have a few questions regarding airflow.
The case that I got was the CoolerMaster HAF 912, which comes with 2 stock 120mm fans. Is this enough to cool my system? Whether these are enough to keep my PC cool, i don't care. I'm buying extra fans just to be safe.
Which of these sets of fans are better?

or

Are either of these sets good? If not, what would you recommend?

Secondly, I'm not sure that my stock heatsink and fan are good enough. I'll be overclocking on it, but I don't know much about this so IDK... Here is the processor I bought:

I was looking at this heatsink, which says its compatible with AMD quad cores, but I looked up a video about it, and it doesn't look anything like the way I connected the stock one.

What heatsink would you recommend for my CPU?
Thank you. :)
 
Seriously? 3 different threads for the same issue?

Calm down man, maybe its his first time and he doesn't understand how forums work.

But to answer you question, I would recommend that set of Cooler Master R4's. They are good and very quiet. They will cool your pc down really good too.

As far as the heatsink, if it doesn't look right then recheck your work. It says that they are both compatible so check to see that you have everything tightened down and positioned right.
