Just built a mini ATX rig using an EVGA Z97 Stinger Wifi motherboard and an Intel 4790K processor within the Corsair Obsidian 250D case. The CPU temps seem to hang out in the high 50s, 60s, to low 70s (72 highest I've seen) Celsius during gaming. Is this too high? I want the components to last as long as possible without being damaged. Any recommendations for aftermarket CPU coolers at a reasonable price that will fit within this setup? Tried the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO heat sink but it was too tall to close the case. Thanks!
Best compatible heat sink with EVGA Z97 Stinger Wifi?

Here is a Tom's article about low profile coolers it is a bit old 2013 but it may give you an idea about the cooler you need:
