1. DONT GET THE DOMINO.
2. DONT GET THE DOMINO.
that zalman isnt amazing, the performa is better, i have the Corsair H50 and it isn't that great either(though it is better than the ECO and Domino) i'd look into noctua
you can use this a reference:

On a budget get the CNPS10X Performa ($45 and very easy to install), good performance and quiet the NH-U12P SE2 ($60ish), great performance the NH-D14 ($80 at crazypc.com) or the Venomous X with a pair of nice fans ($60 on mwave +cost of fans).
If you dont plan on doing crazy oc's get the performa, if your planing on pushing it for all its worth the Ven X or D14.
You didn't say what CPU, if your going AMD then the Ven X is out, all the others will do both AMD and Intel.
