Depends on your budget and case.
Generally low to midrange air coolers will outperform most AIO coolers. Only a few quality AIOs are worth it, especially some open loops.
I personally dont recommend an expensive water cooler for an i5. You wont gain nearly enough performance from overclocking to warrant the cost of the cooler.

the Evo 212 is a good cooler for it's price
but there are certainly way better ones^^
a short list:
Noctua NH-D14 / NH-D15
Cryorig H5 / R1
Thermalright Macho / HR 02
Phanteks TC14PE
imho liquid cooling looks good and opens up some space but is more expensive and you gotta be comfortable with water circling through your system

The 212 is a good cooler for the 6600k , since it doesn't come with one. Some minor overclocking with it would be fine. It will keep the CPU cool enough at stock speeds.

Any AiO that costs less than $120-150 will be outperformed by the $80 Noctua D15, and even some more expensive AiO's will be outperformed by it.
A 212 EVO will probably be able to max out your i5 with safe voltage. Modern Intel CPUs don't produce very much heat.
