CPU Cooler Recommendation

Currently I have a Freezer 13, it's OK, but soon I'll be getting a D-SLR camera and editing a lot of HD video and processing large RAW files, so I need more CPU grunt. I can overclock my 2500K to 4.3GHz with my Freezer 13 before it starts getting a bit too hot, so what I really need is a better cooler.

I was speaking to SmileMan last night and he recommended the True Spirit 140 to me http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/cooling/cpucoolers/814256000475.html anybody else got any other suggestions on what I could get? I'd like to keep the budget to under £40-50 definitely and I'd like to be overclock to 4.6-4.8GHz. I'm confident my board is good enough for that.

Thanks in advance!

- Forgot to mention it needs to be able to clear 4 sticks of RipJaws-X RAM.

For 4 pounds more you can get the silver arrow sb-e, it'll do 4.8ghz just fine.
I'd recommend a true spirit 140 for 4.6ghz daily, not 4.8ghz though.
The silver arrow sb-e beats some watercoolers + the expensive noctua even needs to back off.
Experienced it myselve.

It did fit under my RipJaws-X.
