You dont need a better cooler. Unless you are going to overclock it or something like that. And if you can get a SSD instead of a new cooler. Go for the SSD. The evo 212 is a great cooler :)

Yeah im not really planning on overclocking. Not yet anyway. I suppose if i start wanting to i could get some money together or ask for a new cooler for my birthday. I thank you kindly sir for being a voice of reason.
