Can anyone recommend me a good after market cooler for this build?

I dont have any exact measurements on the tower yet, ill be getting those tonight. I dont believe a TRUE would fit, and if it does, it would be VERY tight. I was thinking of these ones:

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...e=COOLERMASTER
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...n&promoid=1059

or the xigmatek s1283 HDT, but from reading up on reviews, the cooler master lays waste to that one, especially on i7 platforms, it even takes down the megahalems.

This is an AM2 platform, and I dont think ill be OCing that far, but I want to keep it cool, because the stock cooler is absolute rubbish.

Btw, im from Canada if that matters. I have access to the following sites:

Newegg.ca
Directcanada.ca
ncix.com

Thanks in advance

OCZ vendetta 1 would work for modest overclocks -

92mm so no clearance issues

Thanks coffee, this is the one I will go with, the Vendetta 1, as you suggested. Some of the larger 120mm coolers might fit, but it would be a matter of mm in spacing, whether its enough or not enough, so I dont want to risk it, any inaccuracy in either my measurements or the measurements of teh coolers would mean im screwed. This is basically a baby s1283 which is a more than respectable cooler, should do fine for my modest OC. I am hoping to hit 3.4 on this thing.
