I need a new cooler for my i7 4770k processor to keep it cold even if i play battlefield 4 or other games on ultra settings. Just a good one.

Any high-end air cooler with a large heat sink will do for that chip, and any all-in-one with 120mm will also be more than enough. Just go with the best balance of features and price, considering your case and aesthetic preference.

All you need to do is stay under the thermal limits of your processor. The 4770k is a pretty small ship that produces less energy than high-end air coolers and 120mm+ all-in-ones can dissipate. Get something within those parameters, and you'll be good to go. :)

My current 3930k runs Prime 95 at 4.2 Ghz all night long, and it stays in the high 60s, sometimes piquing into the low 70s. What cooler? It's a 90mm all-in-one. Why? Because I have a small case with a mATX board. People make a big fuss about coolers, but you'll be fine even with the same one I'm using.
