Depends on budget, size limits. make sure you have proper case cooling too.

Cooler master Hyper 212+ EVO is a good all-rounder able to handle mild to moderate OC'ing only $30

You have the all in water coolers like Corsair H50/H60 and H100 series price range from 50-100+

Phanteks PH-TC14PE which is one of the best air coolers for $75

@Hydrolex: for 20-30$ you can get the EVO212 which is pretty damn good for it's price - you can OC up to 4.3Ghz with good temps - no more than 60C.

If you want to OC beyond 4.3Ghz and have even lower temps you can get the Corsair H110i GTX for around 100$ - lowest temps, most silent AIO water cooling kit for a CPU I know off.
