[sander1021]

i am going to buy a 8700k, i already have a Cooler Master Hyper 212X, do you guys think this is enough or do i have to upgrade my cooler to stay cool when im overclocking

That cooler is too small to do much(if any) overclocking.

you have any idea what budget cooler would be good?

A budget cooler isn't going to cut it when overclocking a 8700k. I run a Cryorig R1 with my 8700k and at 5GHz it can struggle to keep the cpu under 90°C. If yo really want to OC a 8700k you need a big air cooler(R1, D-14, D1-15, PH-TC14PE, Dark rock pro 4) a big 280mm or 360mm CLC water cooler or a big custom water loop.
