Suggestion:
ThermalTake Heatpipe 101 All copper heatsink, coupled with ThermalTake silent Cat fan (90mm).
Here are the links to both:

HeatPipe 101 Heatsink:

Total cost: $70 for both. :D
Great stuff.

Im running the Pipe101 atm and its doing very well
Of course, you could go the larger massive Thermaltake 112 Heatpipe cooler, which I know for a fact, does hammer.
