Need a powerful cooler that fits!

Eventually I'll be upgrading CPU (most likely to Phenom x4 or x6) and currently my cooler can only handle a 95w cpu. Anyone know of a powerful cooler that will fit this board? The link is below and as you can see I have very little room between cpu bracket and RAM. Do the bigger coolers actually have more room since the heat pipes extend it? Here is also the link to my current cooler which is as close to my RAM as it can get.

If anyone has pics for examples I'd love to see it. That will also enable me to get better RAM if it will fit.

Also try to keep it fairly budget friendly ($40 max/cheaper prefered)! I guess I didn't need to title it powerful, just needs to handle Phenom x4 or x6 with maybe a little OC.

That would definitely work. I would be a bit worried about space. You can also look into the 212+ or Evo. They are a bit thinner.
