If you’re chasing dead silence or planning to push your CPU or GPU via overclocking, just grab this cooler.

The stock cooler gets the job done. You can even do some light overclocking with it, but expect more noise. It won't be quiet.

Thanks. I don't have any plans to overclock.🙂

PS. They already sold out of the Fortron Hex 85 + 450 at Micro Center. Should I just go with that Corsair instead?

To be honest, even that first option is total overkill for you. You could easily upgrade your GPU down the road, and those aren't cheap. If budget isn't an issue, go with the third one—it comes with a 5-year warranty. Just a heads-up though: I’m not sure if you’d handle the claim through the retailer after the initial two years; you’d probably end up shipping it directly to the manufacturer yourself.

If the price looks good, I’d grab this one.

To me, Corsair just feels more reliable when it comes to actually getting support during that 5-year warranty period.

The Hexa 550 w is pretty much the same thing—also a 5-year warranty—but since the price difference is tiny, I’d go with the Corsair just for the peace of mind regarding their support.

Or, if you're looking to save some cash, just pick one of those first two options New Guy posted.

P.S.

Honestly, all of them have more power than you actually need. Even if you decide to drop in a high-end GPU down the road, your build won't be pulling more than 300-350W, so you don't need to sweat it.
