any agoia (but z) or arioa should take you to 1.9ghz with watercooling and 1.85 with air, just look at newegg, they are selling cheap agoia ones

Don't forget the AGOIA K.

Almost any AGOIA or AROIA stepping should overclock very well.
Best best is to buy from newegg as they guarantee AGOIA stepping.
