The Accelero S1 Rev 2 will cost less than a half of the Thermalright.
I'd go for the Accelero, copper memory heatspreaders and a 12-14 cm fan.
The sharkoon 14 cm is cheap and when slightly downvolted (around 1000 rpm) is quiet.
Exactly what i was thinking, only you've gone one better with the undervolted 140mm fan.

Works very well and the fans are almost silent, but more airflow can cool the gpu even more, and expecially the memory chips (dunno about GDDR5, but GDDR3 and GDDR4 get hot).
