I have one of those cases, it's pretty cozy in there and I'm running an Intel stock cooler on my i5 4570. Tower coolers are out, but there are some low-profile coolers that will fit I'm sure. Cryorig C7 is what I was recommended when I asked this question here a while back, but I haven't bought the cooler yet.

AMD Ryzen 5900X

T-Force Vulcan Z 3200mhz 2x32GB

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1

What are your system specs? 

Are you mounting anything on the bracket above the cpu socket?

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

What ram kit are you using? Team Group has a variety of ram with varying heatsink sizes that may determine which coolers may fit.

That's standard profile which most coolers are designed to clear.

maybe $40-$50 / located in the US

The stock cooler should be fine and I recommend using it first before deciding on whether or not to replace it. 

If you want something better for lower noise or more oc'ing headroom, the Choten is a good replacement: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Nkvbt6/scythe-choten-tuf-gaming-alliance-5117-cfm-cpu-cooler-scct-1000tuf

i haven't done a full synth load yet on aida but like on e-sports titles the cpu is like 65c

That's perfectly fine. Try a synthetic stress test like OCCT. If load temps are below 80-90c, there's no need to worry about overheating.
