Aftermarket GPU cooler?

I currently have a reference GTX 660ti with a Kraken G10 and H55 cooler setup, but the pump is a little annoying at times and the setup is quite ghetto. If anything, I would like to get a cooler for the CPU and move the H55 onto my i5-4670k (Stock cooler is fine for a 4GHz overclock, but a little more with less noise would be good).

 

So whats a good option? Mostly thinking of a quiet air cooler, it doesn't have to perform the best, just overall decent temps and noise. No budget yet until I know how much they cost. Also if possible, the smaller the possible since the GPU is located on the middle of the card.

 

Thanks.

Hm, looks decent, but actually for that price I could try to find different radiator that's more silent?
