With your case, you have 2 options.
1. Use 120mm or 240mm radiator in the front.
2. Use 120mm radiator at the back.
For you, in your budget range, i'd suggest Corsair H80i v2 ($94.99),

Either mount it as front intake or back exhaust. I'd go for back exhaust.

H55 has cooling performance of 2.5/5 while H80i v2 has cooling performance of 4/5.

According to the Corsair, radiator mounts are only at front and at back,

But if you manage to mount it on top then i don't see any reason why not to mount it as top exhaust.
