Cooler to OC i5 4690k?

Solution
I'm assuming you are talking about $50US. You won't get a water solution with that unless it's on a major sale. The best budget performance air cooler now is the Cryorig H7. It is the same price (~$35) (and sometimes can be found for less) than the Hyper 212 series and outperforms the 212. The 212 has been de-crowned as the best budget performance air cooler. And it beats several much more expensive coolers costing $50+.

Cool. Just got a 4690k and planning on OC'ing it. This sounds like a decent budget solution.
