Planning to build a HTPC with a CPU AMD A8-5600K FM2 socket.
Any type of reccomandation on 3rd party CPU cooling unit to use?
Any suggestion for a micro atx case with LCD display?

These two CPU coolers might be your best choice- "Scythe SCBSK-2100 BIG Shuriken 2 Rev. B or COOLER MASTER GeminII"....

If its a 65 watt TDP or under I would go with Noctua's NH-L9a heatsink if it works with your board. Another one everyone seems to use is the Sycthe Big Shruiken 2.0 I believe.

Other suggestions include:

Silverstone NT07-AM2 (65 w TPD)
Geild Silent Spirit (65 w TDP)

Dont know about any others as I was looking specifically for very low profile coolers for my case.

thanks you guys.
I did not see the SCBK-2100 compatible with the AMD FM2 socket. Am I missing something?
Any input on a micro ATX case with LED display?

After many changes, the following is my latest shopping list:
Case: Silverstone ML03B (if any nice case with LED display)
MOBO: ASUS F2A85-M-Pro
CPU: AMD A8-5600K
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB
SSD: Kingston 2.5" 120GB SATA III
PSU: 450W Silverstone ST45SF 80 Plus
BD-Rom: LineOn IHES112-04
Case Fan: Enermax 120mm UC-12EB
CPU Cooling unit: Cooler Master Gemini II
