You will be fine with any of the coolers, The Gelid gets good reviews for the price.

I see all of the above coolers are out of stock, should I wait or do you recommend something else for a 2700K and Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey.
Thanks.

It feels like there is a batch of new cooler designs coming as stock of old coolers everywhere seems to be scarce.
