Usually performance or loudness. Read reviews on the coolers you're looking at.

Main PC CPU: 7700K, MOBO: Asus Strix, GPU: Aorus Extreme 3080, PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750, RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB Storage: 970 Evo 1tb

Lounge PC CPU: 4790K MOBO: Asus Hero VII GPU: EVGA 3060 Ti PSU: Corsair RM650 RAM: Kingston HyperX 16gb Storage: 970 Evo 1TB

"How well does cooler perform"

 

Specs don't matter, just the temperatures and loudness.

This is the best aircooler in my opinion Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO :https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483710787&sr=8-1&keywords=hyper+evo+212+cpu+cooler

 

The Cryorig H7 is a lot better for about the same price, at cooling, noise levels, and aesthetics.

Mine lets me overclock my 6600K to 4.5GHz and still stay under 60C while gaming.

What cpu are you cooling and what's your budget? What are you looking for in a cooler?

First priority is to check what fits in your case and with your RAM. Next is budget and what are you going to be cooling (both CPU and possible OC). After that comes the options. If you have spacious case and good budget, you can pick pretty much any cooler that you like.

What, no RAM or case yet? Those can limit some coolers out. Like, you can't put 165mm cooler in case which only supports 160mm coolers (for example, U14S is 165mm, D14 is 160mm, 212 Evo is 159mm and H7 is 149mm). High profile RAM limits bit of coolers which overhang the RAM slots. H7 is fine, 212 and most of others will hang over. Which isn't issue if you have low-profile or normal profile RAM. Thats why those two are the things to know when looking at options.

The stock cooler is enough unless your system  has terrible airflow.

RAM and case specs will include height and clearance for other parts.
