Aftermarket cpu cooler or extra case fans?

[alexxfatal]

So I ordered the parts to build a budget gaming pc:
Cpu: i3 6100
Mobo: asus hm110m-k
Ram: hyper x fury 8gb
Psu: corsair vs550w
Hdd: WD blue 1TB
Case: Zalman t4 mini tower

So I hear a alot about overheating and I was wondering if it is worth it to buy an aftermarket cpu cooler or just buy an extra case fan(which is cheaper)
A guy that has the same build as mine said that the stock cooler wasn't enough and that he had problems with gaming at high settings.. Others say that if you dont overclock your cpu, the stock cooler is just fine. What should I do?

You should find out if you have high temps under load or not. I would think not. Did you order a GPU or will you be using the integrated HD 530?

Ι plan to buy a gtx 1050ti 4gb or 1060 but for now i will use the igpu from intel. Will the cpu temp fall when I'll use the gpu? And what do you mean under load?

Under load means when the CPU is being utilized, such as playing a game. Using the iGPU would utilize more of the CPU and possibly a slightly higher temp. I wouldn't worry too much about it until after you get everything setup and test it out. The i3's don't usually have an issue with stock cooling.

Heat isn't usually a problem on i3's, the stock cooler should work fine. If heat becomes a problem it's likely due to improper mounting of the cooler. When the cpu is fully utilized i5's tend to run hotter, they have 4 actual cores while the i3 only has 2. Twice the heat emitting components. Even then unless it's overclocked (k series) the i5's usually run ok on the stock cooler unless noise is a concern or running in a really hot room where ambient temps are 30c+ with poor case cooling. I7's are also quad core but the hyper threading works them a little harder so they generally run a bit hotter than an i5.

So long as you have at least an intake and exhaust fan and the case isn't trapped in a cubby where it can't get fresh air or some other scenario that impedes case airflow, it should be fine. Check cpu temps with something like realtemp while you're gaming with your current case and the stock cooler and see if you even need additional cooling. If not then buying more fans or a larger cooler is a waste of money.

Than you so much. I finally set up my pc but i have another problem(maybe?) As I said I use the intergated graphics by intel. When I checked the system properties I saw that out of 8gb installed ram only 7.9gb is capable of using. I thought ok 100mb is used as VRAM by the cpu. But then I thought again : is this enough to play games? So I started to find a way to increase my "dedicated video memory". I changed my allocated video ram on BIOS to 1024 Mb. But then after I saved my settings and restarded my computer I checked my dedicated memory again(on windows-adnvanced seetings) and I saw 128mb. I checked the bios again and its 1024. So what is happening?
