Corsair doesn't seem to list that dimension.
Found one guy using the Hyper Evo 212, and that is 159mm tall, and is about your budget.

On pcpartpicker it says x 185mm so it SHOULD be okay. If too many people say it doesn't fit, should I just get a TX3?

Best solution
The TX3 will handle mild overclock and is one of the better 92mm fan ones. This one should fall in between the TX3 and 212 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coolermaster-hyper-t4-12...

I've just migrated here from another OP's thread, and I'm afraid T4 is not worth spending 20 quids at, according to a review I just went through:
http://www.dvtests.com/cooler-master-hyper-t4-test-and-...
I'm still to be convinced T4 will be better than TX3, for a 4.4GHz OC.

The review in question was done on a hotter AMD system and comparing to 212 EVO here is one with Intel CPU http://vr-zone.com/articles/cooler-master-seidon-120m-a...
Here both featured http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/3960/7/33-cpu-cooler-gr...

I have no clue how to read either of these posts so please tell me the outcome!
First one is a test with the T4 showing it handle I7 at 4.3GHz and the second comparison where the T4 takes an edge over TX3 not by much though.
What would be an alternative under/around £40 for my case? It has to be under 157mm. Thanks.
