As far as the CPU coolers go, both are good and will do a good job of cooling your CPU, but the 212 EVO is better. The stock cooler that comes with the fx 8350 will cool it just fine, so you don't have to buy one, but if you do then I suggest the 212 EVO.
And besides the case and the CPU cooler, have you bought everything?

The 212 EVO is actually pretty easy to install. Once you screw in the backplate you simply screw on the heatsink bracket and you're done (I have a couple of those coolers around the house, one on my fileserver 
)
I probably wouldn't go with the stock cooler for long term use on that CPU though as it's really annoying at 6000 RPM.
