Many options out there, the Thermalright SI-120 is a good option, if size is an issue the XP-90C is great.

Are you going to be overclocking?

The stock AMD heatsink with AS5 applied is good for around 2.6ghz.

A freezer 64 or Freezer 7 pro (intel version) are great coolers and cost around €25, very quiet too.
