Hello guys,I will probably get a 7700k soon(I know coffee lake is coming but I need a cpu asap)and since it doesn't come with a cooler anymore I was wondering would the arctic freezer 33 be sufficient for the 7700k or should I look for another one?

I7-7700K has a TDP of 91w when operating at it's base frequency of 4.2; more when overclocked to the max.
While I think it would work up to a point at stock speeds, you should buy a better one if you will be overclocking.
FWIW:
As of 6/9/17
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.4v Vcore.

I7-7700K
4.9 83%
5.0 62%
5.1 29%
5.2 6%
Noctua has a nice TDP guide for their coolers:

I might suggest the Noctua NH-U14s.

If you want to stick with a lower priced cooler, look at the $35 scythe kotetsu.

Easy to install and very quiet.
