What CPU do you have and do you want to overclock? You'll likely be fine with the Hyper 212 Evo which is about $25-$30.

I'm wanting to get rid of my stock CPU cooler but I'm not sure if I should go Air or Liquid.  At $50 what are my best options?  My case is a Corsair Air 240 

Go with Air, 212 evo specifically. $50 won't get you far in the world of liquid cooling.

I have a AMD A-10 5800K it is a FM2+ socket 

And I'll probably get that Hyper 212 Evo, Thanks!

The Pure Rock is similarly priced but is much quieter: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk009

It also looks nicer imo.
