I'm in search of a 775 socket budget CPU Air cooler for my Intel Xeon x5460 which I'm planning to overclock(the only real criteria is the heatsink width which should be 120mm

Width can mean several things in this context. Hundreds to choose from, what do you mean by budget?

120W rated CPU, so it can't be too 'budget'.

Old fashioned Hyper Evo 212 from Cooler Master would work, just have to make sure to get the 775 compatible one.

If you needed something lower profile, you could do worse:

And this is a decently rated cooler with a 92mm fan:
