If you're not overclocking the stock heat sink is fine. If you want something more effective I recommend the Zalman CNPS9500. It's not the cheapest but it looks great and performs very well.

Arctic cooling Freezer 7 pro.
Cheap, Quiet, High performance. I've used it in more systems then I care to count.
the zalmans are really more about cosmetics then functionality. Don't get me wrong, they've got a great comprimise: for something that looks as cool as it does, it performs very well. To that end, its very expensive, and its not as efficient as a much more blan and bad looking design as say something as boring as a scythe ninja or a thermalright Ultra 120.

I think I am gonna go with the Coolermaster Hyper TX (What does it mean by OEM packaging? I still get all the necessary assembly parts right?)
It seems to fare well in this xbitlabs test and this June 2007 Heatsink Roundup
Based on my needs, does this seem like a good choice?

looks almost identical to the freezer 7 pro, so i approve.
