What Thermal Compound for AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor?

Hello- I'm thinking of making a cheap air cooled PC under $2500. I probably wont because of it being pricey. If I end up doing it, what thermal compound should I get for an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor and a ARCTIC - Freezer 33 eSports ONE (Black/Green) CPU Cooler?

Thermal compound isn't super important. Arctic Silver or something.

honestly, basically anything will work fine.

if you want to get a little fancy, you can get Arctic Silver 5, if you want to get really fancy, get some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
