Hello all i am almost done with my build planning but have come across a problem with cpu cooling. I am using the pc for a lot  of editing and some gaming. I was wondering if i should go with an aio or a air cooler i am on a tight budget.

Even with mild overclocking the included cooler should be fine. (if you got the CPU without a cooler than go with air cooling. Almost all of Noctua products work quite well, what budget do you have?)

 

why no dark mode?

Air cooler, always.

AIO's are a waste of money in the majority of times. Considering you're tight on money, just stick with the stock cooler for now and grab a different cooler later- if you need it.

Stock cooler is plenty fine for you, no point dipping into your budget to skimp elsewhere.

Have you tried using the stock cooler first? You can always decide to replace it afterwards if you aren't satisfied with it. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

You are limited by 155mm max height from case. There are good coolers which do clear that. But I too recommend testing with stock first and come back if you aren't satisfied with it.
