I'd say R1 Ultimate (if PCPP allows you to add it to the parts list then in 99% of cases it will be compatible).

It should perform at least as well as the Noctua one. Works wonderfully in mine (easily the quietest moving part in my system). and will keep the inside presentable (avoids the butt-ugly beige and brown).
