The Noctua LH-9i is not compatible with the AMD platform. It's an Intel-only CPU cooler.
On the other hand, the Samuel IS compatible with the AM3+ platform - in order to go with that you would have to buy a fan separately, which translates into added cost.
In case you want to go that route, this fan would make a great choice. The Samuel 17 is only compatible with 120mm fans, and this balanced fan should prove great:

Why balanced? Because it strikes the right equilibrium between airflow (over average) and noise (under average).
Your case height is 151mm.
The following coolers are worth checking out:

3ogdy is right, the noctua lh-9i is only gonna work with intel sockets lga1150, lga1155, lga1156

but most aftermarket coolers are better than stock amd/intel coolers. just get one with a nice big heatsink and a good connection between the surface that meets the cpu and the heatsink fins
