I'm looking to upgrade my cooler, have a 4770k that I want to overclock. Ideally under 80-90 dollars, but I just want experience right now.
Suggestions for CPU cooler?

I've built 4 rigs using this cooler, second to none. Just make sure your case is deep enough to accommodate it's height.

+1 on Evo 212+, have it in my rig and it keeps my FX-8350 cool as a kitten at 4.3 GHz, even under heavy load.
If you're willing to do liquid, the corsair h50 h55, h60 are all great, used them (and older models) many times in build, never an issue outside of one that had slight pump whine, but it's still running over 3 years later. I honestly think they are easier to install than typical "air tower" style coolers.
If not, another +1 for the evo212.

Thanks everyone, lots more suggestions that I expected :)
I've used the 212 evo before, and its good, though I'm also interested in closed loop coolers.

So how cool is cool at load? I get like around 70*C at load using this heatsink with a 4790k. would buying an additional fan actually help?

Frostytech has all kinds of numbers to help you decide
Corsair Hydro series rocks it for me.
I'm running the H80i on an i73820 clocked to 4.7Ghz. Idles at 28c, 40-50c under high load.
I like that they are compact, just make sure you have somewhere to mount the Rad and Fans.
n.b. Not as quiet as the large air coolers.
