Hi zeroKlvn,
There are a lot of good ways to go, all depends by your budget, but considering that you've got an XP2000+, I suggest you to go with a Swiftech MCX462 or an Alpha Pal8045, but you have to check the compatibility with your Mobo, coz sometimes doesn't fit properly: not enough room around the Socket (take a look here (http://www.micforg.co.jp/mb_inf_pal8045e.html) for more info, but this is not an absolutly attendable list, sometimes is Wrong!)
Other solutions are the Millennium Glaciator II (quiet & cheaper) or a ThermalRight SK6 preferribly with a Delta38Cfm, or better a Delta50Cfm modded to work @7v, coz absolutly annoying at the stock voltage (12v).

I hope it helps you ;)

the swiftech kicks major booty man. almost as good as watercooling. not as good but it does a great job. spend the extra money as long as u know u wont go watercooled soon. itll be worth it. plus id bet it wouldnt be hard to sell either.

Thanks guys! I'll look into those and see what I like best. Now if only I had enough money for that watercooling setup I've wanted for so long.....:cool:
