This is what I have on my p-shop machine iirc,

I can't say get that one specifically for your build, comparing the specs and the dimension you gave it *might be* ok, but I'd rather not take the blame if you're in the middle of building the rig and find that it's not actually compatible clearance wise.
What I can say is I've got no problem with that particular model so far in my rig, the noise level on it is pretty good, and priced at 35$ or so. edited for clarity, if you choose to explore the option of getting an aftermarket cooler etc.
Lol, that's the exact same cpu cooler I have! But to make it fit comfortably, I had to get a big, BIG case: In Win GRone White Case. Anyway, love the case and especially the cooler... so quite! Seriously, the case has a Turbo and Silence setting and on silence, even with all my fans, the temp stays low and the running sound of the computer can barely be heard at all, as in, I'd wonder if it's even on sometimes if it weren't for the lights on the fans!
