What cooler do you recommend?

[Xenu 197]

In a few weeks I am going to order this from webhallen - our partner:

https://new.webhallen.com/se/product/271762-Webhallen-Upgrade-Kit-Ryzen-7-X370-Ryzen-7-1700-16GB

My question is, what cooler should I buy? Does anyone here have a Ryzen? 

 

Also, is my 500w PSU enough?

ok, to counter your question with two questions

- What Chassi do you have (will it let in dust?)
         do you want a maintenance free cooler or can you have a more performance based one with more maintenance demand.
- Noise level req
        Are you picky when it comes to the noise level?
 

I do think your PSU will be enough as everything connected to / via the Mobo takes around 100 w in total. It's more of what GPU + how many fans/spindisks you have.

I have a Antec GX500 (that was the cheapest one on inet one year ago. It does has some dustfilters but it do let in some tiny amount of dust. I clean it every 3-5 month.

I am not that picky regarding the noise level actually.  My current GPU is a Nvidia 960, planning to change that this summer.

I have no problem doing some cleaning and shit, used to it

ok, so taken into account that you still do your own maintenance I would recommend using a high tier air cooling solution.
First that comes to mind is the Noctua NH-D15 SE (839 kr) (SE is compatible with Ryzen). With this you get better performance than with a closed water solution (which would have been quieter and less maintenance depending on where you place the radiator.)

However you need to verify that it will fit with your current Graphics Card and if you have any extra accessories. I suspect you might need to move the rear fan if you have one as it's already pretty cramped with the older Noctua NH-U14S (does not support Ryzen out of the box) as seen below. The older Noctua NH-U14S is basically only one heatsink instead of two.
