Because of all your help, I'm leaning towards the EPOX 8RDA+, xp 2100+ "B" everyone is talking so highly about, and 9700 (non-pro).
So here is my question. I will obviously need a HS/fan and have NO clue which to get. NONE
I DO NOT anticipate significantly overclocking so no fancy or expensive stuff please. I need:

-EASY to install (similar to retail if possible because I aren't that smrt when it comes to this kind of thing)
-cheap <$15 or $20
-quiet (near retail)
-better cooling than the retail HS/fan (I assume that this includes most of them)
Does this exist?
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS because I'm all ready to order. If a couple of you can agree then I'm all over it.

Thanks alot!!!!!

For that cheap, I'd say go with a Thermalright SK-6+ with your choice of fan.
But for $30, I say go with a Vantec Aeroflow.

Both of these heatsinks can be had at http://www.svc.com

Thanks alot, I'll check it out.
On another forum I received 2 recommendations for an $8 Spire which I'm told is sold at newegg, is very quiet and works well. Any opinions...all are welcome and thanks again!!!

Maybe I'll get scoffed at, but I've found the Thermaltake Volcano 9 to be pretty effective with these CPU's. I like mine :) .
