Stuck on cooling decision!

Hi guys,

Current Specifications and such:

~ Intel Core i5 2500k @ stock speed.
~ Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
~ HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB GDDR5
~ MSI P67A-G45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3
~ Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze'
~ Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache
~ Zalman Z9 Plus Case

Currently using the stock i5 cooler, but I would just like some information and suggestions on a decent cooler setup.

I've got about £50 to play about with, but any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers guys.

Oops, yeah. Miss-clicked that Z8!

I think I'll need to lower the amount I have to spend to £35. I need to get a sound card too!

Looking at the Corsair A70 High-Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler.

I have a corsair A50 knocking around if it's of any interest. Might not be enough for a serious overclock though
