I decided to run a Air CPU Cooler rather than a closed loop cooler due to my lack of knowledge in building Gaming PCs.

This is the system I built;

Can someone suggest the best Air CPU Cooler that I can have and will fit even despite the ram and GPU I will be having. I will upgrade to a dual GPUs and will set them up for best performace (change in positioning)

Thanks! AIz!

Depends on how you qualify best

Performance-wise? Value-wise?

For performance I'd recommend Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 or Noctua NH-D14

However. the best value/budget oriented air cooler would be Cooler Master 212 EVO
