Edit: There's also a wacky rgb fan
My friend and I just finished building his first PC, and went the route of using AIO coolers for both his CPU (i7-8700k) and GPU (ASUS GTX 1080 Turbo).
This was built in an NZXT S340 Elite case, which had some radiator restrictions that you do not have, so you have a little more leeway on your cooler choice, but the overall results are phenomenal.
For CPU, we decided on the NZXT Kraken X62 280mm AIO cooler. The performance is one of the best for overall cooling performance, and is a breeze to install, plus he really liked the design of the unit. This was mounted in the front of the case as an intake with a push fan config (we had no choice on this due to the case, but I don't know that we would have done it differently regardless). The EVGA CLC 280mm is another very good 280mm cooler, but this comes entirely down to design preference. There are plenty of other options if you prefer a 360mm rad instead, but you can do the research and decide which one you like best (IMO 280mm is the best for noise/cooling performance). Ultimately almost all AIO coolers are rebranded Asetek coolers anyway, so they have the same overall design with different names and RGB LEDs.
For the GPU, we removed the factory blower fan and installed an NZXT Kraken G12 bracket, and paired it with a Corsair H55 120mm AIO. One thing to be careful of, the G12 is mostly universal, however some aftermarket cards have different PCB layouts for the board itself, and the G12 MAY NOT WORK for your card. If you can look up your card and send me the info, I should be able to look up the PCB on google and determine if it will work for your card. Since you have more options on your install, you could instead change this to a 140mm radiator for better cooling performance, however this is not necessary unless you want very significant overclocks, and will be more expensive depending on the unit you choose. One note for the GPU portion of this swap, the AIO swap MUST be installed in one of two ways. Either 1) you use fan headers on the motherboard to control GPU temps, or 2) you must buy this adapter to control the AIO fan from your GPU. If you choose option 2, you can also buy this fan splitter to power the G12 fan (its a constant RPM fan, no speed control) as well. We personally went with option 2 and added the splitter as well to control everything from the GPU fan header using MSI afterburner (IMO, it is definitely the best way to go). The 120mm AIO was mounted in the rear as an exhaust with a push fan configuration.
Some other related notes: 1) Many individuals will shout from the rooftops that you MUST buy VRAM heatsinks because the G12's fan will not be able to adequately cool them. We did not buy heatsinks, and have zero temp issues at a +600 memory OC. I personally do not feel this to be necessary, but heatsinks are cheap, so if you want to be absolutely sure, feel free to grab them. 2) If you choose to go with a different GPU cooler, say like the NZXT Kraken X42 with RGB lighting or pump speed control, MAKE SURE you have enough USB headers on your motherboard! Most likely you will need to grab a internal USB hub like this to run them all.
I do not have any pictures on hand right now, but there are multiple Youtube videos you can look at to see what it all looks like and entails, just search for "Kraken G12" and you will see multiple videos detailing install procedures, cooling performance, and how it looks.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. My friend has never been happier with his build, and the performance numbers are outstanding.
Just in case you haven't seen it, the EVGA CLC 280 is on sale for $75 on Amazon. Great cooler at a great price.
EVGA's 280mm is on sale for $99 without MIR on Amazon, also their 240mm is $80. Great prices, imo.
I trust them more than Corsair.

Eh, it's more like they gave you a cheap cooler. It's probably ok, but as you can see you're hitting the max temps in some situations (100C).
Depends on what you want to spend really. Noctua is considered the best for air coolers.
This is like the most popular noctua model I think:
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-heatpipe-NF-A15-140mm/dp/B00L7UZMAK
And then there are all in one (AIO) water coolers for $100 (but noctua is on par with them and beats many of them). Here is the one I have for my 9900k:

There are definitely cheaper options that should be solid especially if you're not going to be pushing an overclock and all that. I'm not an expert on coolers but if you search 'cpu cooler 9700k' on /r/buildapc you can probably find a lot of good recommendations.

Yep, EVGA CLC 280. Works like a charm, keeps my cpu nice and cool. Also the tubing is braided, which adds a great look and an extra layer of durability. Big fan!
If you're absolutely hell bent on ZERO RGB, the only options you have are:
I'd recommend something like the EVGA CLC 280 or the Corsair H115i Pro and just disable the RGB on the pump. Because:
I'm gonna use this one actually
EVGA CLC 280mm All-In-One RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler, 2x FX13 140mm PWM Fans, Intel, AMD, 5 YR Warranty, 400-HY-CL28-V1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N16CAKN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ksKKDb88TWBHF
Cpu cooler and gpu cooler (not where i bought it from)
Same case here!
I'd go with the 140mm option for all, honestly. Corsair ML140 Pro are really good fans, they're $25 each but, well worth it!
They NZXT Kraken x62 is a solid choice, but depending on your mobo you will more than likely need a Internal USB Hub
Personally I'd go with the EVGA CLC it's slightly better and to me it's a little more aesthetically pleasing (I have it paired with an EVGA GPU)
The rad can go pretty much anywhere that you want. I have it mounted on the top and it does a good job there.
Hoped that helped, and all works out well!
Thank you for helping me out!
I submitted lower price to amazon. Appreciate it if some of you took the few seconds to do the same.
