Looking for cooler that will keep temps low for mild overclocking on a i5 8600k and would fit into a micro atx case. I would prefer an air cooling and didn't want to spend over $100.

That case doesn't allow very big coolers (up to 150mm tall.) The Scythe Fuma is one cooler that is beefy yet stands pretty short due to the 120mm fans on it. It also has a very nice price. It should fit. To my knowledge it is the best cooler under 150mm tall. Although, you could probably compare it to the be Quiet! Dark Rock TF.
