Default Recommend me a new CPU cooler?

Alright, well, with some dasterdly deeds today, I ended up breaking my Chill-Tec cooler that was causing shorts from the Temp Reader.

So, now I am left with a broken cooler that can't really cool anything at all.

So, any ideas? Budget is not really an issue at the moment. I need something that can atleast clear RAM slots, and that won't get in the way of a 9800GTX+.

Right now, I have the TUNIQ open. Not really wanting a Scythe Katana II, it didn't cool very well in my opinion.

Thanks.

Does that base panel (the CPU to Heatsink) even fit it? I did see that when I was looking at newegg, but, I didn't think it would fit the entire size of the processor.

Alright, so I see that the Xigmatek is AM2 Compatible, but I don't see any AM2 compatible mounting brackets or Push Pins on the site? What is up?
I would rather use a bolt through kit if I could, I am currently doing that at the moment with my current crappy cooler.

It looks as if it you can only get the mounting brackets for 775 unless I'm overlooking something.
