It's been about 2 or 3 years since I've upgraded my computer. Currently I have an MSI GTX 970 (might upgrade in a few months depending on performance after upgrade), i5 4690k, 8 gb of ram(stock cooler), MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard (Z97 PC Mate), and I think some thermaltake 650W 80 Plus Bronze power supply. I already purchased 2 sticks of G Skill Ripjaws ram and an MSI Z270 SLI Plus motherboard. I Thought I'd be able to use my old CPU so that's why I already got the motherboard. I've been looking at getting an i7 7700k. I currently do not have a CPU cooler other than the stock one. Do you have any suggestions on CPU coolers? I'd rather not get a liquid cooler since they can be quite expensive. Other than the cooler will I have any other problems?
Will I have Any Problems With This Build? i7 7700k, GTX 970, 16 gb of ram, etc.

The Scythe Mugen max is $37, which puts it in the same price category as the Hyper 212 and Cryorig H7. However its in the same performance category as the $90 Cryorig R1 and Noctua NH-D15 giving you extreme performance cooling at budget cooler prices.
The single fan Mugen Max is being replaced with the dual fan Scythe Fuma which is $8 more and sites are having trouble already keeping them in stock .... so if ya want the Max grab it while ya can. The Fuma equals or outperforms the same $90 coolers at half the price
$45 Scythe Fuma = 69C
$90 Noctua NH-D15 = 70C
$90 Cryorig R1 = 72C...

Get the Cryorig H7 for low to medium clocks. For extreme clocks get the Noctua NH-D15 or Cryorig R1.

The problem with Scythe is, they cool well, but they run loud and they look awful. That is beside the fact that they are not available everywhere. But its a good option if performance is the only criteria.
