Really any Thermalright single tower cooler will be fine, but the Burst Assassin has the most heat pipes for best cooling out of the lineup. I also use that personally to cool my 5700X3D and it does a fantastic job
For a cooling solution, a single tower air cooler like the Thermalright Burst Assassin will be sufficient, but if you have the space and want to push it to the max get a dual tower cooler like the Peerless Assassin or the slightly upgraded version, Phantom Spirit
Personally I would go with the burst assassin as it is a little smaller and easier to deal with.
