Proper CPU cooler

[Diregon]

 

I have an i7-9700k, would a NZXT Kraken M22 120mm be sufficient (or any other 120mm aio)???

If only 120mm AIO, i suggest getting a 120mm Heatsink instead.

If you're just buying an 120mm AIO cooler, it's best to just get an air cooler.

Consider a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo/Black Edition.

Is there a specific reason why you want a 120mm AIO ? 

A good 120mm AIO is fine for 9700K as long as you don't overclock the CPU.

With a 120mm AIO your CPU will run a little bit warm but nothing that would be a problem.

 

A mid-size aircooler will probably perform better than a 120mm AIO.

I would suggest: Noctua U12S / Be Quiet! Dark Rock Slim

Cooler Master Hyper 212 is a solid budget option but not quite as good cooling performance.

for the same price at this AIO, i think a Dark ROCK 4 or equivalents should do the job more than just fine even for overclocking.
