A GeminII S524 V2 would be good: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rrg5v220pkr1

If you need more cooling, you could go with a 240mm rad: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/lepa-cpu-cooler-lpwac240hf

do you know what fan is in that picture it would fit well in my setup

It's a Raijintek Pallas.

Looks are important to me because this case has a large side panel window

 

Post your suggestions down below

Budget?

 

If you have no budget, NH-D15 for air cooling, and a 240mm rad AiO.

Okay then. If you can't fit a tall cooler, your best option for $100 would be a single rad cooler, or find a double rad (240mm) on sale. Typically, tall heat sinks perform better than a single rad, but if it doesn't fit in your case I wouldn't bother with a short cooler. Especially if you're overclocking.

Buy an LED fan and an up facing heatsink that supports a 120mm fan. 

Like one of these:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608025

The Enermax Vegas and thermaltake riing fans would both look really cool on there.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=riing&N=-1&isNodeId=1

 

You could put any cool fan there.
