Small CPU cooler ideas

[Mjbear]

Hi there, I am new to the forum and to PC building in general. I am building my first computer on a bit of a budget but I also want to make it look nice. I have a MSI B250M bazooka motherboard with a I5 - 7500, for the ram I got sucked in by flashing lights and bought the G skills trident z RGB sticks. Now my issue is I am currently just using the stock cpu cooler but would like to put something nicer in there. Only it can't be to big to block the ram. Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent cpu cooler that won't cover my ram. I won't be over clocking the system so it doesn't need to be anything to big just something that fits and looks nice. I was thinking about a hyper 212 but moving the fan to pull through so it is on the other side but more options are always appreciated.

an I5 7500 doesn't need anything too big, any of the coolers in that video should work and won't obstruct your RAM in anyway or even come near to doing so.

depending on your case size you could go with a h60 from corsair or equivalent size AiO from TT, CM, or NZXT etc

alittle pricier than most aircooling but not by much.
