what would be the best AIR cooling solution for an AMD 2600+ Processor? I am thinking a ThermalRight SLK-800 and a Sunon 50CFM Fan with some AS3. Does this seem like it would work effectively? I am trying to keep the noise down.

i have heard that this combo is not very effective due to the fan not having great directional flow capabilities.
good luck.

Well I'd say a SLK 7 or 800, and a sunon 84CFM fan. Main reason I say that is I got the SLK7 and the fan for under 30 bucks, and with the 7volt mod or a rheostat its really quiet (or maybe I've just gone deaf)...and if you do go the way of a rheostat you have ALOT of "play" with different CFM/noise/temps
