Best cooler for Core i5 2500k?

Budget: £50

Theme: Has to be dark colored, As I want it to match my Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P motherboard, And Kingston HyperX Genesis RAM.

Height: Under 160mm.

Was thinking about the BeQuiet Dark Rock Advanced CPU Cooler? Read a review in Custom PC magazine and they say that it is the best cooler for the Core i5 due to its price-performance.

Out of stock ATM, but this would go nicely and is very good cooler to boot

my recommendation for air would be the corsair A50/A70, but for water the Antec Kuhler 620.
