I am planning on getting the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ and I was wondering what the best CPU cooler for it would be? (The CPU on Newegg doesn't come with one, that's why).

You should get a new video card instead, if this is for gaming.. an X2 6400+ would not increase gaming performance much over an X2 3800+ @ 2.3GHz.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 should do, or the Zalman CNPS 9500 AM2 if you're willing to spend a bit more.

Yeah, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is the best bang for the buck cooler.
