Hi Guys, long time reader, first time writer 
So ive been a console whore for about the last 5 year's and got back to the faithfull pc's about a year ago, boy what a difference a half decade makes... talk about changes... anyways.. so i bought a recon P.Bell machine loaded with a q6600 and got back to gaming.. (un)fortunetly my lovely wife started to take an intrest in my mmo gaming (fatal mistake all others be warned ) and before you could say "gizz us a go " i was sharing a pc and buying 2 accounts for all my damn mmo's !! ( stick with me im getting there)
So after much deliberation and emotional warefare i wrangled a £800 budget for a new machine and off i went.... After some browsing and reading of all the builds on this forum ( told you i was getting there ) i settled for this :
i5 750
MSI p55 gd65
Corsair dominator GT DDR3 1600
Corsair vx 550w psu
asus vento TA m11 case
Asus EAH 4890 V.Tweak
AC Alpine 11 cooler
plus monitor and drives ect...
When she found the 900+ bill she was a little unhappy but she got over it
so onto the real point of this story....
ive been real happy with the performance but have got the itch to start pushing it a little so i hit the OC button on my board today just to have a looksie...well i got a temp reading of 88 after just 2 mins of P95 !!!!
Needless to say its time for a better cooler so based on my setup ( which i hope is pretty good) its time to turn to you guys for some support / advice...
Ive got my eyes on either :http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-003-TQ&tool=3
or
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-070-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
Any suggestions would be most appreciated, and thanks in advance for reading through that lot but felt it would be a little rude to just post " what cooler??? " ...
