Coolermaster Elite 360 cooling problem.

ok i have a Coolermaster Elite 360 case and i want to upgrade the stock cooler on my phenom x4, but the case as little room to move in. the case is 135mm from cpu to side panel and i have a 120mm fan fitted giving around 115mm of space to play with. i would like a good cooler but no need for a massive thing.

From what i can tell i am limited to something like the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 or a lay down cooler like the Scythe Shuriken. but i would like some input on the best bang for buck on a cooler with the max hight of 115mm.

Edit: would there be any chance if fitting a Corsair H50?

Here's an Elite 360 with a H50 in it:

D'oh!

My bad.

In that case (no pun intended) the only place you could fit the H50 would be in the roof of the case as that's the only place for a 120mm fan.
