I would say go for either a good air cooler like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 (I got mine for about £36) or a better AIO. All of the Coolermaster AIO that i have used have had terribly rattley pumps and the fans are awful quality.

If you go for the air cooler i would suggest spending the saved money and upgrade the 2Tb WD SN770 to a 2Tb WD SN850X. If you are predominantly gaming you should get a decent benefit when games start to implement Direct Storage.

With this cooler (< £50).

but do want it to be future-proof for when I do need to upgrade parts

What kind of upgrades did you have in mind?

 

[TH3_BL4CK_W45P]

Just for future parts, like If I need a cpu in a few years that it fits on the mobo, just things like that.

Just for future parts, like If I need a cpu in a few years that it fits on the mobo, just things like that.

As far as we know, Intel are releasing one new generation (14th gen) this year, which is just a tweaking of 13th gen and then the socket expires.

AMD have said they'll support AM5 through 2025 (link), so if future CPU upgrades are important to you, that's what I'd buy.
