A thick 240mm or 280mm cooler will be fine for this build. 

Corsair H105 or NXZT x61 would be a good choice, unless you wanted to go for a custom loop.

If your case and memory can fit it, a Noctua NH-D15. Great cooling and real quiet.

Noctua NH-D15 is the best Air Cooling Tower on the market right now.

 

If I may, could I recommend that you switch your PSU to something better. The RM is a fine PSU, but for the same or in this case because of MIR, lower price you can get a much better PSU with longer warranty.

 

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W - $95 after $20 MIR. - Johnny Guru Review

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W - $89 after $20 MIR.  - Johnny Guru Review

 

Corsair RM750W - $99 after $10 MIR - Johnny Guru Review

 

Basically, the RM series uses cheap secondary capacitors, whereas the G2 PSUs use Japanese capacitors throughout.  The G2 series also has a no-fan spin feature, which is very sought after.  Best of all, it comes with a 10 year warranty and EVGA's legendary customer service.  All of my MIRs through EVGA have been incredibly fast, 4 weeks at most.  And EVGA gives me the option of check or gift card.  I take check every time.  Compare this to Corsair MIRs that take closer to 8 weeks, and they only give you gift cards.
