Here are three under $50 heatsinks that are pretty popular:
Sunbeam

Xigmatec Dark Knight
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029

I've added these, because they are starting to get really popular:
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus

They all require a somewhat different approach to applying thermal compound.
