I'm looking for some solid cooler recommendations for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D since it doesn't come with a stock cooler. What are some good options out there?

Newegg has a special promo right now with the 7800X3D where you can score an MSI 240 AiO cooler for free! That's a sweet deal if you're considering an all-in-one.
The Phantom Spirit 120 SE is a top pick for price-to-performance. At around $35, it outperforms and is quieter than many pricier options. Just a heads up, some find the included fans a bit noisy, but swapping them for a Noctua or beQuiet fan can improve that without breaking the bank.
If you're looking for something even cheaper, the Peerless Assassin is just as effective and won't empty your wallet. It's a solid choice if you're on a budget!
Honestly, you don't need an elaborate cooler for the 7800X3D. An old AMD Wraith Prism would suffice. The Phantom Spirit is great too, but keep in mind, this CPU runs a bit hotter due to its design. It averages around 80W without needing an intense cooling setup. So, don’t stress about getting a massive cooler – it won’t really help much.
