Default Good Phenom II cooler?

I am building a P2 build for my brother and was wondering what cooler is good for this puppy? Gimme something that has bang for the buck.

Thanks in advance!

If you can find it cheaper than that get it, it cools great, right now my PHII 940, is 33C idle, and it doesn't go above 48C-49C load (Prime95 for 45 minutes while surfing the web), my ambient temperature is 21C.

Pretty damn good cooler if you ask me , although the other two are great as well, I'm just saying it to give you more variety.

That Xigmatek one, is it better than a tuniq tower in terms of coolness? I remember using the Xigmatek for one of my friends PC's and it was pain to install, but I know there is a back plate for it but its $10..should I just go for the Tuniq Tower instead?
