help on choosing a cpu cooler for a HTPC

I need some help finding a cpu cooler that would fit this HTPC case
http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?...OBL&c=cashback
All of the reviews I am finding are from 2007-09. The budget is between 20-40 since anything above that would make an h50 a better choice. The MB is a m-atx if it matters and the cooler needs to be able to cool an i5 with a slight to moderate OC hopefully. I'm mainly worried about getting one that is too big for the case.



The one I'm leaning towards now is this one, but I know there's got to be better ones out there than that ( hope an ebay link is ok outside of the B/S/T forum, if not I'll remove it)

Thanks in advance!
