If you aren't going to OC you can get away with a lower end model, but if you want something quiet that will last a long time and keep things cool an NHU12 or 14 will work well.

Noctua NH-L12

Get a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 or Pure Rock Slim

 

NOTE: The Dark Rock 4 will have tight fit in the P350x

That'd work too.  Like I said, with no OC you could put a stack of pennies and a dyson (joke, do not try!) in there and be good to go.

All depends what you are looking for. The 8600k runs HOT even at stock speeds. You COULD get away with the stock cooler, but it will be loud under load and may even throttle at times. As @TheGlenlivet pointed out, the Noctua units are a great choice, however, they are very large and may not fit in your case. AIO water cooling units like the Corsair H80i and H100i are very efficient and quiet. Again, make sure it is compatible with your case.

There is no stock cooler for the 8600K.

It's interesting that you say it's hot even at stock when I barely hit 60°C on a 4.6GHz overclock on load with my Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One. What counts as "hot" for you?

Apologies. I was thinking of the 8700k
