Cooler for AM3+LGA 1155

Hi, I currently have AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition with stock cooler and since I want to overclock I need a new one. Currently it's the noisiest part in my PC.
But I also plan on buying Ivy's bridge i5-3570K OEM (LGA 1155) when it comes out and I would like to take this new cooler with me and sell AMD PC with stock one.

I require a quality cooler that is super quite (since I deal with sound recording on my PC) and will last for some time. But I'm trying to save money and want to spend $50-$55 max.
Since my case is unusual I came here for an advice.

So far I'm thinking Zalman or Scythe.

P.S. I currently ave this mobo http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A87TDUSB3/ and plan to buy med.-prices intel one for 1155 when it comes out (no SLI support really needed)
