cpu cooler position (itx)

I'm running a itx b75 with cooler master 92mm cpu cooler fits fine but the cooler has seen better days.

I could get a noctua NH-U9B SE2 but there's a huge chance of the fan clips bashing of my gpu.

Noctua did suggest buying a NH-U12P flip it so it faces the gpu and have one fan only, sucking air away from the GPU,

What would you guys recommend??

my cpu is a i5 3450 at 3.10ghz but Iv turned off intel turbo boost

here is a pic of my unfinished build

I'm not sure what the max size of that case is but I have a Thermaltake Slimx3 in one of my builds (i3 3225 in a Thermaltake ElementQ). It keeps it pretty cool and is silent.
 
Id go with the U12 if you cant use one of their face down coolers dude.

They do have a TINY itx cooler now but with your CPU Id expect that cooler to be hitting over 60c
