I am reading reviews for both and either I have a great starting ambient temp or I got really lucky with my stock cooler and case fan set up because I am not seeing a great improvement over the temperatures I see with my stock amd cooler.

Well, tbh that Rosewill is pretty darn close to being a stock cooler, it just has the copper plate between the CPU and fins. Even with the Tt I linked, though, you might not see much difference with idle temps at stock speeds since the stock cooler actually does quite well to keep it cool at stock speeds and normal usage. The difference you will see is when you start overclocking and are putting out more heat than the stock HS/F is designed to deal with.

Snowman - if you're looking for a good case with bottom mount PSU, I suggest the NZXT Tempest EVO. Nice solid case, tons of airflow (although just a tad loud @12v so I'd pick up a fan controller). I LOVE mine.
Here's a link to a review that was done on it here:
