Will this heatsink suffice for my i7 930 overclock?

It all depends on what voltage you will be able to run at. More voltage=higher temps.

And you only know that by trial and error. All chips are different.

In general, the answer is 'yes' you can OC with that cooler. But how high you can go will depend on the voltage that the chip needs.

I use this and recommend it if you have space:

If your space is more limited, this is a good option:

Both take up less space than an air cooler and don't crowd RAM.

The H100 with an extra 4 fans outperforms all other coolers on the market.

What case do you have?

Well the Corsairs vollman1 suggested are a viable option for your situation.
Otherwise you can go with a higher end air-cooler.
Btw bumping is a THG violation i suggest you desist.

I don't really want to spend that much money or really go water cooling unless I'm doing a full loop I've setup myself, really the only thing I'm worried about is the 212 EVO hitting my Dominator RAM :/
