Yo people,

I'm going to replace my stock CPU fan and I want to install new cooler heatsink. What is the best one for my CPU "Quad Core Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650"? because I will overclock my CPU and my memory. And what is your advice for my memory "OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 8GB Platinum Quad Kit"?

I think Xigmatek HDT-S1283 with additional 120mm fan will do the job.

Cooling the ram? There are snap on ram coolers that are pretty nice. Usually good case flow is enough actually unless your going for world class benching. You could always put a fan somehow blowing on the ram if you wanted. The Antec Spotcool is pretty effective, point it anywhere.
