im going to buy a new pc and i was wondering if the new 6800k cpu already comes with thermal paste or if i have to add it myself and i wont oc
or do those cpus come with it pre-installed thermal paste?

The 6800k does not come with a CPU cooler, you will need to buy one. Any good CPU cooler you buy such as a Noctua, includes a tube of thermal paste

^ What he said.

I guess a follow-up would be why are you building with a 6800K? What applications/games are you running, what type of display, what are the other components, etc?

CPUs do not come with thermal paste pre-applied, ever.
