If you're willing to spend $80, get NH-D15S. Top notch performance, extreme compatibility, 6 years warranty, supreme quiet fans.

If you want cheaper but almost equally good, you can try Scythe Fuma. Le Grand Macho Rt is another massive performer that can fit your case that you can look out for. Although to be honest, Noctua supreme 6 years warranty and wide availability is much better than either.

I agree with hellowworld. It's seen my 4690K through the past year without issue. I'm a gamer so it's not been babied. I did add a second fan to my Evo. Speaking of not being babied http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3084719/4690k-reasonable-temps.html shows my 4690K's temps. through varying load levels.
