At first I was going to go with an air cooler, but I was told that the best air coolers won't fit my case, so I am willing to spend a little more and go for a liquid cooler. I was told that the NZXT Kraken x52 was good, but I would like to know other alternatives before I purchase the cooler. By the way, this is my first build and I researched a lot about air coolers and water coolers, and I simply just want a good cpu cooler that I'll be able to use for future upgrades. Any other information would be helpful too.
My current build (excluding a 1 TB HHD that I am reusing from my old computer)
