Well depending on your budget and looking at the case, the corsair h100i would be a good choice. You can place the radiator/fans inside the top of the case. Or if you prefer rear exhaust, the h80i corsair will do good as well. There are other similar models out there too, but I personally prefer a household name like Corsair/Kraken as I know I'm getting good quality. Though accidents can happen!

Subjectively, again, if I'm not planning on overclocking a build I opt for an air cooler as there isn't a lot of difference in temps until you ramp up the volts/frequency on the CPU.

What case do you have? If you're running stock and not planning on overclocking, an air cooler would be best. Though if your heart is set on liquid cooling, then knowing what case you have would help :)
