i cant afford a king, so wats a good quality headset in the area of $60? i'll be using it on my race bike (spec epic). i need the traditional style with external cups and sealed cartridge bearings are a must.

any suggestions?

Hm. I would look at FSA headsets. For that price you will have steel cups with angular contact bearings. Probably the Orbit UF or XL II is going to be in your price range. These are pretty standard in good all-mountain and XC bikes with external cups.
