Long story short, I am going to build a computer with a gtx 1080 ti and an i7 8700k. The case will be a NZXT H440 and the motherboard an Asus Prime Z370-A.
I don't want to bother with the risks and small amounts of work with water-cooling and I want to aircool my cpu. I might do small amounts of overclocking but I'm not sure yet. What I am looking for is a good cpu aircooler able to keep a slightly overclocked i7 8700k cool. There's no shame in it looking good either.
If you need further questions answered, just post them down below, thanks!

Overall temps are good idle is 32°C, it has gotten warm when I pushed the CPU to 5Ghz(80°c). Stock it never went above 60 at 4.7Ghz it was about 66°C under load. Noise isn't bad. Here's a couple reviews.

Also really think that one is ugly, the other one looks good though. Will consider that one.
