I bought an i7 7700K. At the moment the cooler I use is a Cooler Master Hyper 103.
Ingame the CPU temperature is 80°C+ (176°F), and I know it has heat issues.
I`m not planning to get an AIO cooler into my system.
So what is your recommendation, should I get a new Aircooler? If so, which one should I get?

Thank you for your help!
 
A quick visit of PC PartPicker showed the following compatible with CPU, in stock (in the UK - try your own PCPP site), and sorted by most recommended.



The Noctua coolers take 6 of 10 slots, so worth a look, but pricing isn't to everyone's taste. The Cryorig M9i is nicely priced though, and you can compare it to others here - https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7426/cryorig-m9i-cpu-cooler-review/index.html

I love my Noctua NH-D15, but make sure your case is roomy, that beast takes up space. The cooling performance is top notch and the installation is well documented (although I think if you have a second person helping you it's better).
