cpu cooler

if you plan on overclocking i would highly suggest it. if not, then you might be able to get away with it. i would recommend getting the cpu, putting it in with the stock, and then checking the temps and decide then (unless of course you do overclock, in which case you'll most likely need a new one).
 
Id get an aftermarket cooler even if you dont plan on Overclocking,Theyre just better that the stock coolers and will keep your Cpu cooler. :)

Which one to get though depends on how much you want to spend on a cooler :)
 
Thermalright true 120 is a good choice since according to HARDOCP the performance difference is negligible between the venomous and the true but the price difference is like 10 bucks

i want to spend around $1000 and my current build is $1160 and I do not plan to overclock so do i still need a cpu cooler?
 
i would just try out the stock and looks at the temps when it is at 100% and decide then. you never know, you could get away fine with just the stock one.

one another note, nice build :good:
