Cooling advice

[C64]

Hi guys, just bought an AMD Phenom x3 720 Black edition (2.8ghz) Skt.Am3. Havent built a new system since 2007 ,so wanting some advice regading cooling. This prodcessor didnt come with stock heatsink/fan and would like to get something in the 10/15 pound price range ( if possible). Also what kind of temps should I be looking for idle/full load? chrs in advance.

Those Arctic Freezers are not bad at all for the price though.

Moved thread to appropriate forum section.

Around 30C is good for idle and around 60C good for full load. The Freezer 7 Nev linked to above is a great cooler for the price.
