I'm using a Zalman with my FX8350 and it works great.  There should be 
plenty of room in your case for it.

I got an Asus GT640-DCSL-2GD3 last year that I like a lot.  It's got 2
DVI ports for my dual monitor setup and runs like a champ with 2 monitors.
It's also got 1 VGA and 1 HDMI port, and for fun I set up a 4 monitor
display.  It ran fine but the different sized displays and finding desk space
for 4 monitors kept me from keeping that configuration!
