This is my system at the moment though I think that I should really upgrade my Hyper 212 EVO though I don't know what cooler that I could get that would fit into both my case and not block the RAM slots on the motherboard, I only care about having the two that I am using open though.

If it is possible I want to be able to overclock my machine and I DO NOT CARE at all how loud my machine is, I always have fans running in my room so it literally will make no difference to me at all.
Thanks for the consideration.
 
If you have already bought the system then any good 240mm AIO will fit and do a good job...Possibly even a 280mm AIO but double check.

If you have not bought the system..then

I presume you already have a graphics card as there is no price on the build

Component Selection Base Promo Shipping Tax Price Where
CPU Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor $329.99
CPU Cooler - CRYORIG - H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler - $34.99
Motherboard Asus - TUF Z370 Plus Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $119.99 -$15.00 FREE $104.99
Memory - G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $188.88
Storage - Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $114.90
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $42.99

This adds upto $831.74

That leaves you with roughly $170 for a case and power supply and any 600 to 650W decent power supply will do. Also you could probably do better on a M.2 SSD as ADATA have just released the SX8200 NVMe at a really low price.

Now the most important thing is you can pick up a totally legitimate copy of Windows pro for $20 both Pauls Hardware and Tech of Tomorrow have covered this in detail and I have bought many windows 10 Pro Keys from Ebay for no more than $20!!!! check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ApACgIrGXw Saviyn you a $100 bucks...
 


I have had this system for about 3 and a half years now and am just upgrading it now, I already upgraded the CPU, RAM, and Motherboard. Is the Deepcool Captain 240EX AIO acceptable?
 


Hi the Deepcool Captain 240EX AIO will be more than good enough...
