I am looking to build a new computer and am planning to use the i7 8700k.
Processor - i7 8700k
Mobo - Gigabyte Z370p d3
PSU - 775w
Ram - G. skill trident Z RGB 16gb
Case - DIYPC VisionII-BG
I want to overclock it but don't know what cooler to get, I'm trying to spend less than $70. I found a liquid cooler for about $50 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAGAH8C26184&ignorebbr=1 Could this overclock the i7 8700k to 4.7ghz or 5ghz. Another cooler that I found was https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4RE4SN7971 Is there one that I should get over the other? Will both of them work?

You would be better off with the air cooler than the liquid one.

I would offer the advice that you want to avoid anything 'liquid cooling' and 'cheap price' together. Often, the price of an entire AIO liquid cooler costs as much as a good pump or block alone would cost for a normal watercooling solution.

I've seen good things from the Cooler Master MA410M and the FSP Windale 4 and 6. Other than this, you can look at Arctic 33 eSports Edition, Noctua NH-U12/14 or D15 or the be quiet! Dark Rock 4/Pro.
