I need a cooler to fit my case since it's not the widest and I don't have room for 155mm+ height coolers. Right now my stock cooler runs like a jet engine and is giving me 40-45c, I'm open to closed loop and air coolers, my price range isn't that important but I'd prefer it not to be 80+ dollars. Thanks
 
If you don't have the clearance for a standard tower cooler, something like the Noctua NH-C14 offers a lot of the performance a potentially more useful orientation. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhc14
It's a tiny bit awkward in shape, so you'll maybe have to consider how your motherboard/case is laid out, and it doesn't vent air as helpfully as a normal cooler, but it is very well reviewed amongst other low-profile coolers.
