Need a good heatsink for SFF PC - TheLastCat - 08-16-2014

Hi guys, I recently bought from Newegg a new motherboard, an i5 4690K, 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB HDD. With all that out of the way, I was looking for a good heatsink that fits in small form factor computers that allows better cooling than your regular Intel stock heatsink and allows light CPU overclocking. any recommendations? Will be playing heavy games like The Last Story, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and One Piece Unlimited Adventure.

This is the case I will be using:

Noctua nh-l9i low profile is extremely quite , it was tested on i7 2600k @ 4.3GHz rig
Noctua is the king of air cooling unit atm (both quality and performance)

Looks very promising. How much OC do you think I could do with the noctua heatsink?

What do you think about this alternative:

Seems to fit my case and it's cheaper.
