You won't generally have that problem with CLC (Closed Loop Coolers) because the waterblock is fairly light. The other option would be a Hyper 212 Evo/X, it's one of the best bang for buck air coolers on the market. Usually goes for around 1.6k to 1.8k. It's good for about a 15% OC depending on ambient temps.
As for PSU, You can pick up a Super Flower Leadex 650W fully modular 80+ Gold PSU for I believe 5.6k. They may be relatively expensive, yes, but I can tell you they are very much worth the price. 5 Year warranty, all Japanese caps and excellent build quality, voltage regulation and ripple control. An EVGA SuperNova G2 650W would work as well (it's basically the same exact unit as Super Flower is the OEM for the G2/P2/T2 series) but they're rather hard to find.
