I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a CPU heatsink for an FX-8120...which measures 135mm high or less. Looking to do some very mild OC'ing.

I was interested in the Scythe Shuriken: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scythe-Shu [...] 622&sr=8-1 - but have since been informed it won't be able to keep an 8120 cool enough. Thoughts?

Also had a look at the low end Antec and Corsair liquid cooling systems (Antec 620, Corsair CWCH60).

My budget is about £50/$75 (keeping in mind many coolers cost more in Europe). Otherwise I'd be looking at the Noctua NH-C14 but that's just a bit more than I can spare right now.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Try to source a Thermalright MST-140 or AXP-140RT.

I don't see any reason why the Antec Kuhler 620 wouldn't be able to handle the job.
