2. Asus ASUS M4A785TDV-EVO
3. 550 w PSU.
4. 2 Gb DDR Transcend Ram.

My Budget is < 3k.

I got 2 result While goggling as:

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is avialable in my Local Dealer.

Thermalright Ultra-120mm : IS on theitdeport.com at 3200 /- (with shippment)

@ suyash_123 - Thermalright Ultra-120 don't comes with a fan - so you have to cough up another 500 bucks to get a decent 120mm fan. so it will be 3.5k total - if you can spend that much it would be a solid cooler for your rig.

If you don't want to spend that much gget CM Hyper 212 ( normal - it has flat base ) or Hyper 212+ - they both comes with fans and 212+ is compatible with all latest intel sockets too.
