I'm looking for a cheap cooler for Ryzen 5600x I am not sure which one will be good enough
Here are some coolers I found:
XIGMATEK Air Killer Pro Arctic
XIGMATEK Windpower PRO 120
Cooler master hyper 411R
Antec c400
Noctua NH-U12S redux
C400 is the cheapest one. CPU temperature hits about 90 degrees with the stock cooler
Which do u recommend?

Not exactly for AMD and up to 80W is electrical power which doesn't directly translate to TDP. I know of couple of systems with same CPU working under CM 212 Evo not reaching 70c while 5600(x) is good up to 90c before throttling.
Some reviews Said that it goes over 80 with the noctua redux that's why I don't feel like c400 is a good choice cm Evo 212 is out of stock here
 
Honestly, I have a wraith prism cooler, which is an amd stock cooler that would have shipped with a higher end chip like a 2700x or something to that effect. You can buy them on eBay for 35-40 dollars US. I had one sitting that I’d used in the past, but my 5600x stayed in the 50s-60s even after doing 10 passes of Intel burn test.

Another budget option you could check on is the vertroo v5. One like this for example. I have one that I had installed on my old cpu. It’s probably about the size of the 212 evo and had brackets for an extra fan so you could even set up a push/pull configuration on it if you want.

When I said I’ve got a wraith prism on my 5600x now, this is the type I mean.
