The BEST Socket A heatsink you can buy is the Thermalright SP-97. Uses the four mounting holes around the socket and has heatpipes that move the heat more rapidly to the ends of the fins to increase cooling. All copper. I run it with a near silent Nexus 92mm fan as part of a super quiet gaming rig.

If you won't be overclocking much, then any $20 heatsink and fan will do just fine.

And, yes, you need thermal compound. Get a tube of Arctic Silver 5 from Bestbyte or SVC.

Listen, by the time you get ready, to pull the trigger on a HS, you'll be able to buy This sweet Thermalright.

The ThermalRight XP-120 can be installed using the stock P4 heatsink retention bracket. Designed for use with Intel Pentium-4 socket 478 3.2 GHz and above only.

How is he going to use a P4 heatsink on a socket a ??????
