Xeon Cooling
Don't go for a 212 evo, if you can get the be quiet pure rock the go for that instead. Scan have it for about £25 last I checked. It's quieter than the 212, has better cooling performance and is he same price, even slightly cheaper as well. The 212 evo has been the staple budget minded cooler for the last few years but it's not as good as some of the competition these days.
Also, the xeon should be fine without an aftermarket heatsink, at least initially, as it doesn't have a built in iGPU which lowers heat output a noticeable amount. If you feel you want to have a quieter and slightly cooler system however, grab a pure rock.
Also, have a look at the overclockers UK clearance coolers, their B grade stuff is good quality, usually open box display models. Yesterday in fact I actually ordered an alpenföhn Brocken b grade from them for £22 shipped, which is half the retal price, so you can see how good the deals can be from them.
