Hello, i am looking for advice on what cooler to get to go with my new parts, that would also fit into my Bitfenix Shinobi case. i'm looking to spend around £80, but not over.

New Parts:
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
and the 3770k
G.Skill Ares 8GB 1866MHz (2x4GB)(Considering getting another 8gb)

I use my current build for 3D rendering/animating, photoshop and gaming so it would need to be able to compensate.

I was thinking about the h80 but i'm unsure if it will fit in my case, or if sticking with an air cooler would be better.

Thanks in advance, -Lekti
 
Q: What is the maximum clearance for CPU coolers on Shinobi and Shinobi Window?
Shinobi Window maximum CPU cooler height = 165mm
Shinobi maximum CPU cooler height = 167mm

The K2 is 160mm, room to spare.
