I am looking for a single tower.  

Dark Rock 3 is solid choice. Though, if you want RGB-cool or something bit different, that isn't best one. Answer to WoodenMarker's questions so we can check what are your options.

My specs are an intel core I7 6 cores, and a MSI Enthuastic Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (Z170A Gaming M5).  My budget for my sunk is about $40

As far as I know, there aren't any 6 core i7's for that socket. Make sure and tell us your cpu model.

What ram and case do you have?

What's cool looking to you? Any examples?

Probably because its heatsink, not heat sink. And everyone fears they get it wrong.

 

As for topic, $40 USD means you might loose bit in performance if you want weird cooler. Other than that, I would still suggest DR3.
