NOOB ALERT

Im going to build in a Fractal Define C case with a -MSI B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU. I would like to get another CPU cooler than the one who comes with the CPU but with all the coolers I try to put in the build in PCpartpicker I get the same message (see picture below). 

What kind of potential adapter is that? Anything that I should worry about? 

Thanks in advance, if someone also wanna recomend a cooler feel free :)

Honestly, we are at a year since the launch of the AM4 socket, all coolers on the shelves of stores should be up to date and have the AM4 mounting kits included at this point. Shouldnt need to worry IMO.

OK thanks dude!

And if you happen to get one without adapter, manufacturers give one for free. You only need proof of purchase for cooler and CPU/mobo. You can use stock cooler while waiting bracket to be shipped.

How is the stock cooler? I have heard people saying its decent to awful, anyone got any experience with it?

It's decent. Who's saying that it's awful? 

The H100i probably isn't a good value for the 1600. Instead of getting such a pricey cooler, the money could be better put towards a better cpu in the first place.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I've only seen people talk good about Ryzen stock coolers. I don't have much personal expierience, last AMD stock I've used was for Athlon64. Intel stock coolers are ok for performance, but bit noisy to my taste.
