So here goes,

I've ordered so far

- I5 7600K
- Samsung 960 Evo 250GB
- Asus ROG Strix Z270E
- Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200Mhz DDR4 2x8GB sticks

I already have from an old build I will be taking apart

- ATX case CiT Ge Force with 160mm space for a CPU fan
- 900W PSU of good quality
- 500GB Sata SSD
- 2TB HDD 7200rpm

I will be purchasing a good GPU to go with this rig but right now I want to see how cryptocurrency will affect the prices of the GPUs I want such as either a 1060, 1070 or a 1080 in the next month or two.

Now you know the components I will be using, what large air CPU cooler will fit?

the DDR4 heat sinks will get in the way of a lot of coolers, so I need to find (which I have so far failed to do so) a cooler which will clear them RAM.

I also intend to play lots of MMU like Star Citizen (if it ever gets released), MMO like Battlefield 1 and PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds and city simulator games such as Cities Skylines with this, and have it future proofed for the next generation of games.

Thank you.

How about a nice AIO water cooler, you have enough space in that case for a 240mm rad in the top, or a cheaper one with a 120mm rad to go on the back exhaust of the case, the pump / block will easily sit on top of the CPU without fowling on the ram.

Is there such a thing as a quiet liquid cooling system, If so I might take a peak?

They are pretty much completely silent, you dont need the fans raging away, just enough air flow to push through the radiator, its depends what your budget is for a cooler, you can have something simple like these 2, quite cheap:

or something more flashy and expensive like this one:

I am ordering the same MOBA with the same ram aswell, I don't have the AIO Cooler with me as of now but I can tell it will fit with the ram. The cooler is the Corsair H100i v2 btw, (KEEP IN MIND I DON'T HAVE ALL THE PIECES WITH ME SO DON'T TAKE TOO SERIOUSLY MY ANSWER).

The AIO doesn't fit because the heatsink at the top of the motherboard is in the way of the radiator. I had to go for a noctua u12s in the end! :)

If i can toss my 2 cents in. I'd recommend the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Slim. I'm personally using it with a I7 4790k right now. It keeps my CPU nice and cool while gaming and doesnt interfere with my Corsair Vengeance PRO which also has tall heat sinks like the Cosair Dominator platinum's. Also, if you have difficulty installing it, look up a 1150 install guide, the method is the same, the only difference is one more pin in the socket itself for the CPU. which doesnt effect the cooler installation.
