AIO Recommendation

I'm about ready to buy the parts for my new system, here's what the build is:

 

Case: Phanteks P350X

Motherboard: Asus Prime Z370-A

CPU: Intel core i5 8600K

Ram: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200

GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti

 

I'm planning to put an overclock of around 5ghz on the 8600k as it can handle it.  I'm planning to put an AIO in the system, but not sure which one to go with.  I was looking at the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML240L RGB but would welcome recommendations from those who have know how.  Not planning to do any sort of custom loop down the road, just like the idea of the AIO.  Thanks!

CPU - Core i5 8600K @ 5.0GHz  |  Motherboard - ASUS Prime Z370-A  |  RAM - G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB  |  GPU - EVGA 1080Ti FTW3
Case - Phanteks Eclipse P350X  |  Storage - Crucial MX500 M.2 500GB  |  PSU - EVGA 650 GQ 80+ Gold  |  Display - Dell S2719DGF 2K GSYNC
Cooling - Corsair H1001 V2  |  Keyboard - Corsair Gaming K55  |  Mouse - Corsair Gaming Harpoon RGB

Are you deliding, as you can lower temps by 10 15 degrees just by changing the thermal paste

DO NOT BUY THAT AIO. I have used it and it is loud AF and I've heard stories of it failing a few months in. I'd get something like an H115i Pro or failing that an H100i V2

Although I don’t know about the reliability of the ML240L, I can indeed assure you that the H115i Pro is a very decent AIO. In fact, this is one of the AIOs that I always recommend to others as well.

I've heard horror stories about the ML240L breaking down after a few months and with Cooler Master's legendarily awful customer service...
