I need help picking a quiet, good cooler that fits in the case. I'm planning to overclock and beefy air coolers dont fit well in this case paired with the mobo. Any good aio's or air coolers that would fit and keep temps low enough. Heres the parts list

Solution
You don't have any good AIO liquid cooling options with that cpu - the chassis only accommodates 120mm, and that's not going to cut it with a 3900X.
Custom loop would work if you got a little creative with it, but it would add like another 500USD on top of what you already have...

So air it is, I guess..?
beefy air coolers dont fit well in this case paired with the mobo.
What do you mean by this?
The cpu clearance is a reasonable 165mm. One of the display images shows the TU150 with a Dark Rock Pro 4 sitting over what looks to be G. Skill's Trident Z Royal memory in there: https://www.lian-li.com/pc-tu150/
That's one option down. Others:
be quiet! Dark Rock TF
Noctua NH-D15S
Noctua NH-U12A

Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT: Warning! You might not be able to install a rear fan INSIDE the chassis with this cooler! Then again, depending on how you look at it, that leads to less noise, because one less fan...
