Which cooler?

Hi I didn't get much response in the sff forum so hoping heres a better place to ask;
I have a lian li v351 case with an arctic freezer pro 7 in at the minute but its very close to the psu (touching) and is blowing air onto the back of my graphics card. So i'm looking for another solution.
I have looked at the h50 and noctua c12 and c14 as the best options, but i'm concerned with heat going into the psu if I use the c12/14?
Well heres a pic

and my specs are;
AMD 1055t 95W at 3.6
4 x 2gb corsair xms3
xfx 4670 (need to change this soon!)

Intake fans are stock lian li but I think ill swap when I swap the cooler.
and theres a 80mm fan outtake the other side of the psu (above graphics card)

One last thing, I'd like an easier install than the arctic freezer, so maybe something low enough to fit into the case with motherboard tray out? I heard this was 100mm but I couldn't find anyone else saying this.
Cheers

i'd look at the scythe big shuriken

Maybe the Big Shuriken like said, or the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Low Profile cooler.
Best bet is to get the Corsair H50 and find a space for radiator.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Low Profile cooler or a bigger case!

Theres a case for the h50 there.

I was thinking of something a little less low profile more towards 10-12cm, since im guessing lower coolers work less well

The NH-C14 will blow air down so it wouldn't be blown into the PSU. But you'd need 105mm clearance to make sure it fits with the one fan.

If you have a place to install the H50, that would be your best bet. It's the kind of situations the cooler is ideal for.

I've seen the h50 been done in the case before, needs holes cut into it to hold the rad though
think i could get tiny fans for the rear?
