The Samuel 17 is a small profile CPU Cooler specifically designed for HTPC's and small case builds with limited space, providing superb cooling with 6 heat pipes. The heat sink is designed not only to cool the CPU, but also helps to cool surrounding components. The small form factor of the Samuel 17 helps to keep RAM slots clear from obstruction.The super compact build of the CPU cooler means the Samuel 17 is only 45mm tall, perfect for tight spaces.When combined with one of Prolimatech's 15mm thick Ultra Sleek Vortex PWM fans (in 120mm and 140mm variants), the Samuel 17 is only 60mm tall and provides maximum cooling for the limited space. Standard 25mm thick fans can also be installed on the Samuel 17.Supports ATX, microATX and mini-ITX form factors. Supports Intel LGA775/1366/1156/1155/1150 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2.Also available bundled with the Ultra Sleek Vortex 12 Fan (for most compact setup) or the Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 Fan (for maximum performance) on Amazon.

If you are worried about sound, and keeping your case cool, then these are the best fans I've used. Plus, they are only 15mm, so great for in an HTPC. (They are 140mm fans, but mount on 120mm mounts.)
Ultra Sleek Vortex Fans: $19.99
And you will probably be fine with the stock cooler. You can always upgrade in the future if you want. The best heat sink I know for an HTPC is:
Samsung 17: $44.99
It is a little on the pricey side, but if you want a really quiet, cool HTPC system, it will do the job well.
I'm gonna recommend a wholly different approach so you have some options:
Add a high cfm 120mm case fan with 11 fins at the top, and then use this as passive heatsink:
