I would consider a 240mm AIO, the Kraken X52 seems pretty good based on reviews along with the Corsair H110i

H110i is a 280mm AIO, and one should consider the newer variant of that, the H115i, the counterpart to NZXT's X61/X62 coolers.

If he's looking for a 240mm AIO from corsair, he should look into the H100i V2

There ya go, as I said, based on reviews I aint used any of the them, but ye 240/280mm depends on the OP's case

@Zyndo @stealth80 Sorry guys im trying to keep up im still trying to learn the beginnings of the tech side of it.

@Zyndo @stealth80 How simple is it to install a closed loop cooler, the coolers you guys are recommending are they one fan?

Usually pretty simple. The ones we are recommending are closed loop yes - they're often called AIO (All in one) by most. To install it's pretty simple provided you have access in your motherboard tray to swap out the cooler. it's a matter of unscrewing the old one from the board (usually thumb screws x4 around the cooler) and then gently twist and pull away - the old paste will probably be hard to break the surface tension. Once you have the actual cooler unshipped, go ahead and remove the fan/radiator, which will be 4x long screws (probably) holding both in. 

 

Clean the old paste from the CPU and clean the surface so it's completely free from old paste then apply a pea sized amount to the CPU (from the new cooler) and switch over any CPU bracket/mounting mechanisms.

Its pretty easy, and there are foolproof instructions on how to do it included with the cooler upon purchase.

No they are not 1 fan. a 240mm AIO (All-In-One cooler, AKA closed loop cooler) consists of 2x120mm fans, a 280mm AIO consists of 2x140MM fans, a 360MM AIO consists of 3x120mm fans.

Stick with the 240mm solutions that @Zyndo listed, your case seems to only support 240mm "Clearance for top 240mm dual radiator for water cooling solutions"

Just for reference. My 6800k at 4.0Ghz 1.227V maxes out at about 63C during extended stress tests using a 280mm AIO (Corsair h110i GTX) at about 40-50% fan speeds in exhaust config and max liquid temp is about 47C (I set my fan curve to ramp up rapidly at 48C and hit 85% at 50C so the liquid temp is never above 50C). Could probably drop the fan speeds or liquid temp a couple degrees in intake config but it's not worth it in my system.

 

Power and heat on a 6800k rapidly increases after 4Ghz (4.2 needs like 1.35+V, 4.4 needs like 1.45+V which is way too high IMO). I personally stick with 4.0 and have not had any bottleneck issues yet (BF1 is the highest user at about 50% at 1440p, 80fps)

@pyrojoe34 Hey pyro whats up man, can you llink me directly your cpu cooler.

This is the one. The H110i GTX and H115i are the same cooler, they just changed the name. However the case you linked doesn't seem like it would fit a 280mm rad so you would be better off getting the H100i v2, or really any 240mm AIO (NZXT or whatever brand you think looks best and has decent reviews). You won't get quite as good temps with a 240mm as with a 280mm but the difference won't be massive either.
