I own an alienware Aurora r6, with a Intel i5 7600k, and I needed to replace the cpu cooler but have no idea what mm cooler to get... Beacuse I know it's a very small case.. And I'm not sure what size or height would fit in there

According to http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/alienware-aurora-r6-desktop/alienware-aurora-r6-setupandspecs/dimensions-and-weight?guid=GUID-C54B0787-CBE2-44EB-8C57-5C4F7B8CC92A&lang=en-us
Height 472.5 mm (18.60 in)
Width 212 mm (8.34 in)
Depth 360.50 mm (14.19 in)

The most important number there is the width. At 8.34" wide you can pretty much put any cooler in there. Personally I recommend the Cryorig H7 for that 7600K(it'll handle the 7700K OC'd).

it seems like a cooler master case , ... to me at least so i would say it perhpas doesn't support anything beyond a 240 mm rad . although you can google your alienware model with a 360 radiator at the end to see if anyone has installed one

Any ideas or links on what radiator to buy, it's a aurora r6, very small and power supply sits i front of cpu, so not sure if that affects it because height between them is limited

Is there any way you can offer a pic of the interior of that case? That PSU comment concerns me so my previous answer may be wrong.
 
That's just about the ugliest interior I have EVER seen

The Cryorig will NOT work.
