I'm gonna direct you to a different place.

CoolerGuys seem to have better prices for fans and crap like that. This is where I bought all my fans and heatsink. Also bought my fan controller and cathodes here too. They have great service.

Heatsink, this is the one I have and I think it works great:
Thermalright SLK 800 $37.99
120mm fan (25mm thickness) $9.95
80mm fan (heatsink) $5.95
I have this fan on my processor and everything is very cool. It blows plenty of air and isn't too loud. It doesn't have a 3 pin connector to plug into the motherboard so if you go with that fan you'll probably have to turn off the ability for your motherboard to detect the fan speed of fan on the processor or every time you reboot there will be an alarm that goes off saying that the processor fan isn't working even though it is.

You may want to check newegg and see if they have cheaper prices on these products because I'm sure they have them, but I bet they're more expensive. Their hardware is really cheap, but cooling products seem to be a little high to me.

One last thing. Good choice on the processor. You won't be disappointed.
