I'm looking for a heat sink to replace my stock fan that is under 40 dollars.

I'm interested in this:ZalmanSNPS8900 the only problem is I'm not sure if it will clear my RAM at 110mm in an ASUS Gryphon Z87.

If anyone thinks it will fit then great! If not, can I get some suggestions?

I'm running an i7 4770k so it needs a little bit of cooling power, but I'm not into OC'ing so not too much.

The budget is top priority, but quiet is a close second if possible :)
 
Solution
Most custom coolers will work better than the stock ones - cooler and quieter.

The most recommended cooler under $40 is the Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo.
